Some interesting modifications. The rear light clusters look good but not Noblemods - any idea who makes them. Also Xenons - not sure if that means just the bulbs or a full HID conversion - again would be interested in the details if you find out.

With the Roush upgrades I would want confirmation and details of the remap that would have been required.

It's still an M400 wannabe and you are into real M400 territory for the price being asked although it does have some nice touches.

Black looks good but is a bugger to keep clean.

I've got the same rear lights on my 2.5. Also, mine has polished door seals with 'Vegantune' etched in. I assume seals and lights came from Vegantune? I don't think they have anything to do with Noble now though.

The lights are Marcos Afterburners IIRC.

If Skip has given it a onceover then there can't be much wrong with it...

I have been out in this car and I had to have my eyeballs pushed back to the front of my head, I think it also has a long range tank on it, the guy who owns it is looking at a Fabio to replace it. It has a lot of extras and I am sure when I looked at it it was up for 32K.

I went to see the car and it was a great example. It looked a million dollars, drove fantastically pulling smoothly and drama-free in all gears and had some nice mods underneath the clam. I couldn't really fault it to be fair and the guys up there were a pleasure to deal with.
