Just bought this and thought I'd give it a clean today as the sun was out.
It's my replacement for my recently sold Audi A3 3.2 as the A3 was a bit boring, the Roadster isn't super quick but is dam fun clap

The only let down about the car is the gearbox, although I'm told a remap helps to sort this out.

Any comments welcome tongue out

Have to say they certainly are nice, I like that alot the black and dished rims really do go down a treat. I'm also one who prefers the rear windscreen/boot too.

Hope it puts plenty more grins on your face as you'll find its less about the speed but the general driving expirence.
Totally agree, the black and deep rims in silver really make the car. I too think it's the better shape.

Might go for a play on the Beacons Monday to have some fun and it will all be within the speed limit hehe

Can you see anything out of the rear window?

Very nice car, I think these look so much nicer in Brabus form as well.
The view out the back isn't too bad, bit restricted but enough to park easily and to see who's behind you when driving.

these are super quick in the right places so don't get caught out and spin and crash it
I totally agree, it's note quite as quick as the TVR nor does it have the outright power, but what it lacks in power it makes up in maneuverability and nippy-ness. Either way as with all new cars it take time to get used to them rotate

Are your wipers not the wrong way round, as in the blades on the wrong arms?
Good spot, realised that the other day. Not sure why they had been put on the wrong way round all sorted now. The V6 was nice but the car was just dull.

Love it, been thinking about getting one in exactly the same spec.

Is it full or semi-auto?
It was the highest spec I could find and well worth the looking around. They are all semi-auto.

Thanks all for your comments
