Congratulation! You'll enjoy owning the car and the corsa mode!:

A noob question but does the manual Gallardos have corsa mode too or is it my right foot?

I am already thinking about painting the calipers yellow and doing something with the wheels. Not too keen on black wheels and love the look of SL wheels.

I remember trying to find that car a few years ago, well done. I did see it pop up on Autotrader this time too but was too slow.

Check the classifieds as I have a set of LP570 SL wheels for sale along with my gold PUR RS05s.

I called the seller in the morning and went to see the car in the evening, with a provisional offer subject to inspection. It was fortunate that I was picking the family from Stanstead airport on the day, which was 30mins from the seller.

I will take a look at the classified. I am looking for the multispoke SL wheels, not sure if there is a model number for this.

Nice car! I love playing with snow foam too!

We should post up more pics of these lovely bulls!

Lovely pics of cars covered in foam and dirty ones.

After spending the weekend driving it, I already managed to slightly kerb one of the wheels being too cautious. I am going to be getting the car serviced shortly and planning to get the calipers painted in Yellow or green (https://goo.gl/images/yyqax3). Any opinions?

Any experience with BHP in Buckinghamshire?

A little update on the car, it went to BHP (Buckinghamshire High Performance) for its annual service and other maintenance work. The OCD kicked in and had some of ther items done including changed the colour of the wheels with new set of PS4S and had the calipers painted in Verde Mantis. I can’t wait for the decent weather in spring!

I suppose it’s easy enough to swap to steel brakes. CC is more expensive than I expected.
