Initial impressions? compared to the P1?

Only done about 50 miles in it Deb drove home, I drove the P1 last now she's going away in it tomorrow for 3 days Been down a couple of me usual roads, but it's freezing here so given up for the moment

Anyway to answer your question, think it's easier to drive, better finished & build quality inside, turns in lovley, like the smaller steering wheel. Performance, well don't think there's much difference, some places the P1 feels quicker and some the other way round.

It aint the raw drivers car the P1 is, feels a bit more grown up if you know what I mean, both terrific cars, pleased we changed but too early to say which I prefer to drive when having a play

Nice motor Paul well done, must be better to have four doors. I have not driven a P1 but I'm made up with my WR1. She looks a minta, what's the mileage and any plans for the car.

[Wheatie]

[danr55]

[POESY]

Lovely, nice one.

Are the wheels silver ?

[Chris B]

Well done Paul,good to have another member,good looking car,now the modding starts.

[Paul N]

Thanks gents

12K on the clock, only extra is CD multichanger...........at the moment

Planned mods, Defi's, need to change the white ones for BF's
Front splitter maybe, not yet decided & would like a strut brace

are the wheels silver

have to confess they have been refurbed due to light curbing on the N/S alloys, match the centre OK and looked the same as the other WR1 at the dealers that hadn't been refurbed.
May be the light??

Cheers
Paul

Car returned in one piece, but Deb had a puncture, anyway found it early so no damege to the rim, stuck at 50mph most of the way home.

I will get to drive this car sometime

Fancy a splitter but not sure, spent 3 years watching the lip on the P1 , there are advantages for having a higher front end :D

[SPIKE LIKE MIKE]

I find my WR1 is worse than my P1 for getting too close to the floor Although it looks higher I dont think theres much in it and with a splitter it would be much lower This is why I diddent get one in the end

Same with me Ant, would love the splitter but i've put a wee scrape on the underneath of the bumper turning in an uneven junction As soon as i did that all ideas of a splitter were put on ice as making the front lower was asking for trouble. Still yern for it when i see the likes of Spikes car with it on.

Ps Happy motoring Paul

[stijoy]

i also would love one colour coded but don't think it would last very long

[Paul N]

Yep the very same but put our P1 plate on it

[Paul N]

Been thinking about the splitter, as you guys say would look :D and finish off the front end but think I'm not going to bother struggled enough with the P1 on and off boats / ferries

Thanks for your comments guys, you've helped me make up my mind

What tyre pressures do you run? Got 32 front, 30 rear at the moment

Cheers
Paul
