Hi All,
Gave up on the search for a black one and went for one from a garage that has had the head done. Not making the same mistake as last time though and so left a deposit. Picking it up this friday as it's the earliest i can get there. Few sleepless nights coming up i think.
Would seem like i had a close escape from the last garage that stitched me up, have heard that he has changed his name 12 times in the last 3 years after selling people dodgy surfs with head problems and then refusing to have anything to do with them after.
Anyway, now the proud owner of a burgundy 2.4 auto with 40,000m on the clock.
Am looking to change a few things though once the cash flow is looking a bit better and was hoping you lot would be able to advise ( you've done a great job so far, maybe in a few years i'll be the one dishing out the advice ?)
1. The spare wheel is mounted underneath, while this is probably the most practical way of carrying it but i do prefer the look of the surf with it on the back, is there an easy ( and cheap ) way of doing it or is it best left alone ?
2. There's no rear spoiler and i really do think that it makes a world of difference to the look of the surf with it on. Is there a place where i can get one that's already colour coded and if so are they easy to fit ?
That's it for now, will be joining in loads on the forum from now on as i feel like one of the gang.
Cheers,
Jim.
PS. Hope you don't mind but would like to say a big thanks to Dave at Phoenix Cars in West Moors Nr Ferndown Poole for his honesty. He had a few Surfs out the back that he could have easily have sold to me but he wouldn't due to concerns over " the head problem ".
