And just as I thought it's not an Aero, just T16 w/ body kit. Of all the gadgets it has just an electric sunroof - strange. When it was checked in the garage it turned out it drips oil from under gasket, many o-rings and the tranny. The fix will cost ca 400 euros, but I was told by the mechanic that the engine and turbo are OK. The rear suspension creaks in tight corners, but it might be just the exhaust (it was fixed recently and is out of position). Switching the gears was difficult, but that's partly because I didn't fully depress the clutch (it's _very_ low). But when I got to the open road and floored the throttle... wow! > Give it a try.

I proposed 3700. I'll let you know how it turns out. > It might just be the angle, but it looks like a round exhaust. Turbos should > have an oval, unless there's a "hiding twin". I think it is oval - I wasn't paying attention to it, mostly to the body and interior (nice "toffee" velvet), leaving the engine to the mechanic. > The rest of the kit looks good > and the debadging gives it a nice edge - check the VIN though. > http://nospam.com/turbo/DIY/vin.html will give you some indication.
