  1. Really happy. But im shattered if im honest. Up at 8am home at 7pm (was a long drive!)

    Ive done 200miles nearly and i have barely let the turbo spool, kept it under 3500revs for the run in period, shouldnt be much longer.

    First impressions?

    the damping - its amazing, worlds above my r26, feels like a bmw on the road (soaking up bumps wise)
    the cabin - half the road noise, much more refined, only fiddled with half the goodies so far - the radio is great! Every channel crystal clear!
    cant comment on the engine yet but i sat at 75mph coming home on the motorway at got 38mpg so thats always nice to see!

    Car is now filthy so pictures to follow if i get a break in the weather!

    Final spec for those interested

    265 'full fat'
    LY Paint
    Cup chassis
    18" satin black tibor alloys
    mich ps2 tyres
    folding door mirrors
    keyless entry
    directional bi-xenons (amazing!!)
    full leather recaros and leather rears
    arkamys stereo upgrade
    think thats it!

    early night for me now, need some grub first!
     
  2. Oh an from initially looking at the car we've noticed not all 265's are the same!

    my gf's dad has a full fat 265 too, basically same spec but he has a different cup holder (mine is deeper) and a different rear spoiler (mine has a lip his edges down)

    weird eh!?
     
  3. looking forward to seeing some juicy pics of this badboy :smiley:
     
  4. Good to hear it's arrived looking forward to the pics!

    Spoiler on the 265 is different than on my 250, First i have noticed that
     
  16. My spoiler is different to the gf's dads and his is a 265! Strange eh!

    Yeah mine has an angle on it where it comes down to meet the glass, That one looks a bit bigger as well unless its just an illusion of the paint
     
  18. Yes thats what the gfs dads is like, and yer its thicker.

    Nice to see they have continued to make changes throughout manufacture!
     
  19. Yeah they changed it once the Trophy was introduced, the last of the 250s had that one too and continued onto the 265, personally I prefer the older one;
