Cheers dave
The car is superb...simple as that. VERY capable to be a nutter and very well at being a normal car...me and the misses have been out in it all day.
VERY well balenced as you would expect, power delivery is awesome.....very revvy.
You ever driven one????

Drive it.........Thats it.
They need nothing doing to them tbh....just enjoy.
I have changed the indicators, grills and side vents to the black ones to darken it down slightly....Thats all im doing to it.
With the power it has and the way it drives you dont need to change anything imho

TBH if your doing that many miles a week then no....as it would murder you on fuel............
22mpg........Ł50 will do about 160 mile.......(Thats going steady ish)
If you can live with the fuel bill then DEFFO as to use it as an everyday car it is more than capable imho.......

Can I be cheeky and ask how much you paid for your car Tiff? PM me if you like?
As said on your facebook, it looks like a cracking motor, is it facelift or had the mods done?

the only things it needs is a good remap ( makes a massive difference) and a wheel spacer kit ( you can get the right ones of m3 cutters)

PS Glad you like it Tiff. They are awesome cars. I must say I'm not a fan of the black side grills or kidney grills though
And
that plate!

I was undecided about the grills at first but with the Depo's in darkens it down....its a grower
And you LOVE the plate C11op
