There's no mounting points for another seatbelt, not even a lap belt (which I wouldn't want any child of mine to use anyway)

So how much are you going to be asking for the LE? rolleyes

Well I can honestly say Ive never felt physically sick at the thought of selling a car........
I've wanted a coupe since they came out ..and own what I consider the epitomy of the genre ..
I love polishing it so much I actually bought a Megs G220, and it looks frikkin amazing ..

hmm... theres always divorce I guess

I think the main problem would be with insurance. I am sure the Coupe is regarded as a four seater.

Then agin I could just be after your Red LE evil

Fellie, did you check with your insurance if this is ok. I never got round to fitting the belt I had just wondered if it was all legit or not.

There must be a formula somewhere for estimating the actual fiscal value of a coupe ..

in this formula.. we must assume that :

love for coupe
colour
edition
condition
number of cambelt + oil changes ( if high )
low number of dubious glued on body kit parts, to be the positives

lack of knowledge of correct turbo care
inability to check oil
misunderstanding of the variety of dump valve noises
lack of standard issue brembo squeal
distinctly low count of weekly fettles, to be negatives ..

any one care to work out a formula laugh

Think of it like top trumps. There is always one car in there that can trump every other car.

In Coupe terms that car would be a certain shade of Vinci Grey
