After waiting a whole 10 weeks, I finally took delivery of my girlfriends new car this lunchtime.
Completely standard, out of the box 197 Cup in Racing Blue.
14 Miles on the clock, and will tell her to take it easy for a bit before giving it some death.
Surprisingly better in the flesh than I anticipated...new Alpine IDA-X001 already fitted, and a trip to K-Tec for some H&R springs may well be in order this weekend:red:
Pics from this evening on the drive.

Not given this too much shit as yet. Only driven it 14 miles from our dealership to Laurens work. She is out in it now
Alot more refined over the previous generation, and the seating position is a bit better. Same clutch feel as the 172 Cup, and steering feels a touch more direct and precise.
Shep - Its a CUP. Can get a rear spoiler etc, but im not fussed by it.

Looks nice mate.
Just looks like its missing something without the spoiler on the back, and the black mirrors and door handles, makes it look a bit like a standard one.
Lovely cars though, im sure theyre very fun to drive
