I did like the look of the yellow one but my good lady wife drew the line, great colour and in good condition. I can thoroughly recommend the seller as well, simple and fair transaction. I saw the black one 2 years ago but had a V8 in my head so bought a C63, so when it came up for sale again it seemed like I had to this time! Trying to work out now if I should do the Hayward and Scott bypass as the C63 and my previous ASBO Mini were quite a lot louder than the GTS so I feel like I need to add a bit of volume?.......

Hayward and Scott and Sharwerks both have good solutions.If your car still has an OPC warranty you should be aware that this would potentially cause issues...if you don't have a warranty/don't want to get one go for it!
The car still has 1 year warranty left from the previous owner which may still be valid however, they fitted the non oem bosch battery so not sure whether this invalidates warranty or just stops me renewing it? Mixed views on whether exhaust mod/battery mod invalidates entire warranty or just the affected parts which are not covered anyway. Battery could be a difficult one as I assume any electrical glitch could be blamed on non approved part?

It definitely stops you renewing it and could depending on your local OPC impact a warranty claim. I'd give their service department a call and ask what their position is on it....better that conversation when there isn't a £3k bill riding on it. As I understand its down to them as to whether they have an issue with it.If you want to renew the warranty you may as well change the battery now.

I really liked the car, had a desire for a V8 and the Amg lump is about as good as V8's go. Fuel economy was pretty bad, I knew what I was getting into so I accepted it but the reason I sold it was that I was going to loose my license as the speed accumulated so quickly and the noise was so good that by the time you looked down, 3 digits were already upon you!
Next up was this-
With the jcw pro exhaust it was hilariously/embarrassingly loud (search youtube for challenge 210) and great value for money but my wife wanted a 911 cab so who am I to say no!
