So - My ultra-high mileage 20VT is giving me far too much grief (it died twice yesterday and again this morning ) and I'm looking for a replacement Coupe, so that I can swap all my go-faster bits into - engine, suspension, that sort of thing.

To help you out, I'm looking at the low mileage Moonie Plus that appeared a few weeks ago - I'm thinking that a Chrono Grey LE would be very different and I rather like the idea of the dark metallic Red Plus. Edz's LE is also tempting

So, if money wasn't an issue, which Coupe would YOU go for?

Trouble is Nigel - they all sound nice!

Chrono all the way!!

i love the colour!!

or.. go custom colour..

so think mental, like mid night purple or some thing like that!!!!

Having seen a Moonie for the first time (Jurgens?) I'd have to say that. It's metallic but looks more pearlescent in the flesh. The way the light hits it is

I also saw my first pearly white, and I prefer the Moonie.

Electric Blue Plus or Vinci Grey LE.

i'd say plus or le too, although a our ages Nigel i'm not convinced an le is the way to go. so in summary, the moonie or a plus!!

That's funny, I'm still considering parting with my

Yep, electric fuel efficient cars are on the horizon, as are hush puppy boots with zips in the middle

if money was no issue a plus or le with a custom paint job that pearl alfa colour that lad in canada has had his done! would be a 1 off

or this!!

clicky

I'd got for low mileage and keep it for a weekend toy - as your daily drive though those low miles won't be there for long.

I think it would need to be a plus or LE, I'm not a fan of the LE interior so I'd go plus, and make it a very late one with airbag seats.

Moon grey will be lush and not need polishing every day (gotta bear in mind how it'll look at the end of the week with your miles.

Chrono is just unusual, not my cup of tea but it'll stand out.

I still have a hankering for a shiny rosso red but you need to keep up with the polishing + waxing to make them look good. A shabby rosso is a mess

LMFAO!!!!!

10k... would rather walk!

Nothing wrong with a moonie plus:



Needs a certain light to look good though. Oddly enough it looks great in sunny weather and in very drab weather. On a regular day it can look a bit dull and grey

I would go for a vinci personally, you could always sell the LE seats and put + in

lol,it does look like a ferrari!!!

jeeez..........gotta say although it's no to my taste it appears to have been lovingly done

I'd err towards an electric blue plus. Sometimes I look at my porto and think it's a little wishy washy. And then the wallet starts twitching, and the sensible part of my brain starts finger wagging!

I saw a matt black (maybe more satin black) Mercedes on the motorway this morning and was surprised how good it looked.

A Coupe would look way better and very "stealth" in matt black with a body kit and enormous wheels.

Then get the engine modded to get the RUSH jet engine sound (maybe start with something that has been modified already) and job done

Then keep the current Coupe as well for those times when being a little bit discreet is needed.

Sorry to rain on the party but 'If money was no issue' (within reason) unfortunatly I wouldn't be buying another Coupe although I love them, I'd go for something a bit newer. I suppose quite a few will share the above view.

It'd be cool to win £10K worth of 'Coupe vouchers'

No actual cash value - they can only be spent on a Coupe, Coupe parts & labour

For you nigel I'd say whichever one is mechanically spot on.highest compression,standardish witha full detailed history. As you like the colour I'd be tempted to try And find one of the very few sprint blue plus's

I would go for a plus. In the following order

Yellow > Red (solid) > Moonie > Red (Metallic) > met blue

he's transferring his engine etc over rubes - where's my photoshop buddy?

Pearly White Plus for me with a Sprint Blue Plus a close second, but guessing you fancy a change of colour.
I wouldn't go for a dark red metallic again, no praticular reason, just don't think it works well with the shape of the Coop IMO.

Plus's are so cheap that i would be seriously tempted in your position.
Not to mention there newer and therefor you should be able to prevent any rust forming in the usual suspect places.

I would go for a plus probably, in electric blue (if they did those?!)

I've PM'd Edz about his Vinci LE and I'm waiting for a return call about a Moonie Plus

I'd go for the Chrono LE that's for sale here minus the spoiler.

I know there are two schools of thought on this, but personally I wouldn't tit about with an LE - IMO those ones should be left standard(ish) as a representation of a low-volume version. I guess Pluses also, to an extent.

Mechanical mods can always be backed out though.

you obviously haven't seen Patch's 'RipSpeed' Special yet

Of course not Duncan, no-one has. However, go to a meet and I can see a good 6 or 7 of the car you own, in different colours too - Oh! The excitement, the thrill of it all

Don't wander from the safe path mate
