Any EOS fans?

My missus is keen on them as well, and if you're going for cabrio the Eos is probably the best that's around at the moment if you take into account value for money, build quality etc. I think you're making a good choice with it although you could wait for the A3 cabrio if you're not sold on the styling?

Dont lower or raise the roof if theres anything parked behind you.

Has she got to have a 2+2?

kit 1 and the rear of kit 2. Front of kit 2 looks a bit Tigra...?
White looks fookin awesome too.

if it came in candy white then thats what she would choose, either that or DBP but it doesnt so she only had a choice of 3 blues, the light blue which is nasty, one they call midnight which is almost black and the one she's chosen called shadow blue which has a mild pearl

The charactere kit without that funny rear spoiler looks really nice...very "euro" if you ask me Althou the ABT Kit also looks quite nice

And....to add to it...yes i do like the Eos...trying to convince to get one for my sister in silver with the red leather interior....would be nice to have a convertible that can seat 4 comfortably with the weather we have here

hiya mate, which dealer did you go to?

i really like the eos, its a very very nice car. got to say i really like the caractere kit out of the three

i went to helston and saw mark, he's going to score the dealer network over the weekend for me and see what he can find, then it will get delivered to allen autobodies at crowlas for the kit to be fitted then possibly over to RK for the zorst mod. induction and engine tuning will come in the next few months

i am trying to keep the car/kit/zorst/rims and paint all in to under £30k which is my budget for the project for her

shes over the moon, muchos brownie points for me

cool sounds good mate

just make sure when you get the work done down in crowlas to go over the car very very finally (or dont let jeremy at the agrage to look at it) as he spotted a fault with practically every panel on the car after they resprayed it, luckily they took it back to be fixed.

always do mate, they have done 2 full resprays for me to date on a dmaaged a3 and on a mk4 golf and its been flawless, although ive heard some people have had issues. but it IS the vag approved workshop for down here and the dealer is happy with the warranty and everything i have planned too which is a bonus

does that mean ur getting rid of your R??

I really like the EOS, they had a black one in the showroom when i was in there last week!.

Would definalty be a nice edition!!

If your missus likes it then that's the majority of the decision work done? Have to admit I like the caractare kits for the EOS.

We looked at the EOS, I thought it was a good well thought out car, which looks better with the roof down, could not make my mind up with the roof up though.

However, due to the lack of a driving licence on the day we visited the dealers a test drive couldn't be arranged, followed by a phone call which took the demo of the patch, another dealer had grabbed it.

We talked about the car and my missus was less than keen, the next day went to BMW, she ordered the new 3 coupe. She's never looked back and absolutelty delighted with it.

So I say if your missus likes the EOS go for it. Happiness.

I like them, but imo they have a weight problem, now it might sound rich coming from an R32 owner, but even the 3.2 V6 does 7.1s to 60. Now i know it's not your primary car and you speed in this case isn't too important to you, but the extra weight is going to affect you're fuel consumption.

God i'm beginning to sound like my dad, i'll shut up now, and leave you with a nicer comment 'get a silver one with the red interior and it'll be a VERY nice car :top:'

yeah, we had a long talk about engines and weight, but she want the droptop side of life and like the shape and not to bothered about particularly terrorising the tarmac. thats why we went fot the turbo 2.0 so that we can tune it quite cheaply and effectively for a low budget and make it nippy with out being crazy, the 3.2 didnt appeal enough and would drink fuel

Overall, I prefer the ABT kit, looks more OE. I REALLY don't like the side skirts of the Caractere, but front and rear bumpers are good. (also, loose the spoiler)

30Grand! Go for an import.

Just my 2yens....

edit: Does anybody else agree that parking sensors ruin the look of the rear bumper on any car?

Yes, and you don't need them.
