Found a 'Plus' within my (revised) budget which turned out to be a 20vt[6] so thats what actually started this thread. Just doing some more research ....... I know I can't get a Plus for that money, maybe next year !!!

From a point of view of a Coupe dummy... all these models look the same to me exterior wise I suppose it's what inside that counts?

Good luck with your search, though. Hope you will find the perfect one

Something to bear in mind is this..... if you buy a 20vt6 and put side skirts on it, you have modified your car. Therefore you need to declare this.

Not too difficult to turn a 6 speeder into Plus spec, just look at mine below !!!! Only thing I am missing is the Recaros, which I can live without.

I am 72 kg hence my Recaro's are just great. Oh and I haven't sat in it since October helps.

well im 69kg and my standard 20vt cloth seats were just fine too although i aint sat in them for about 2 years,probably a bit longer

I still own mine.

Matter of taste, the LE seats look fantastic in the flesh and suit the Black and Vinci and Red so well!

People just seem them and get scared by em, actually see one in the flesh and its different.

i have seen them in the flesh,i wouldnt have commented on them if i hadnt.
but fair do's it is all about personal taste,same as car colour

I know how you feel

Something you will seriously fall for will eventually turn up

Happened to me with both the coops I've had. Neither was what I was actually looking for but they fitted the bill for me and haven't regretted either (/me runs off to hug a big tree).

Wanted a turbo but bought an n/a with a really good history which still scared/exhilarated me to drive. I only owned a mk3 1.4 Golf at this time and just thought that will do for starters (until I learn to drive something with a modicum of poke) and it was a great car.

Wanted a low mileage plus and bought a high mileage 20VT(6) (with superb history) go figure! Helped that the 6 had the six speed box, plus alloys and a start button which I craved and thought "forget about the body kit and strut brace" (although I now have the latter).

It will just feel right and the more lemons that you look at the more you'll know it's right when you find the right one. The more lemons looked at the better IMHO.

that is the a lovely colour combo, i dont like ink black and i dont like tan leather but that just works so well.

as for all these comments about LE seats being tarty etc well your wrong end of story.

But if we were all the same this world would be a very boring place to live.

Well, looked at a few lemons and have now got myself a Coupe Picking it up Saturday so will update you all then, suffice to say I spotted it and fell in lust !!! Roll on Saturday ......

I agree, you need to see the lemons so you know when you find the right one

Congrats, don't keep us in suspense though, what is it?

think i looked at 4 before i settled on the one i used to have but i wanted a boggo 20vt without aircon/leather/sunroof rather than a coupe vanden plus

Yep, you may have to look at your budget to get the car you want

That's because they're not tan - they're sand

If it makes you feel better, yes they are sand

Hey there is no wood trim in my LE!
