156 picked up today, well chuffed
 

Picked up my 2.0 TS 156 today and can barely stop grinning.

It does everything I want it to do and looks reasonably grown up, well at
least till I put a big boot spoiler on it.

I would recommend one to anybody.

Nooooooo!

Catman has one of those silly picnic table / carry handle / pram handle
type pieces of crap on his.... it looks terrible.

Leave it as standard, ffs!

At 33 you want a pram handle on your car?
I thought that you were pleased that it looked grown-up.
You claim to have bought it at a good price. Why devalue it?

Just swop with Catman. His is the same colour IIRC.
At least he had the excuse of the handle being pre-attached.

BTW. drilling holes in the boot lid causes leaks.

**** off does it

Much as I like the 'standard' 156 I like the way the spoiler (any spoiler
within reason) raises the boot line and makes the haunches seem more
purposeful
