Not usually into body kits (n stuff) preferring to keep such auto-exotica in their original state. But I really couldn't resist this, it's awesome. Would love some feedback on it.

The rear wheels are 21" & the fronts 20". Was wondering if this adds or detracts from the handling and the ride comfort.

It has the 2013 IRIS upgrade to 625bhp. What the hell is an iris upgrade?

Hiya hazy, remember me? I bought the Tdf strad for 67k back in 2008-9. There's still a monster thread on it on Clubscud lol. Cars now worth 125k.

Anyway chaps the 12c is astonishing, sublime handling that feels like a AWD in the wet if u set it up that way. Hasn't stopped raining since I bought it. It doesn't sound like a ferrari but it's still magic.

Yes the car was up with Tom Hartley then sold to a dealer who put a 13k premium on it. Obviously had to haggle that down a lot.

saw the car online on monday with tom hartley for £125k but hesitated, tue it was sold to a dealer. friday morning i noticed it was up for sale again with a dealer (in leeds) at a premium. rang him up 11am, paid for the car 1230pm by bank transfer, shot down to leeds at 1pm, drove the car back at 330pm, arrived home around 6pm. didnt tell the wife anything, shes not arsed, she didnt even notice it until the next morning.

love it.
