ANTHRASITE wheels! 

80,000 miles in its own should not be an issue but its a 2008. The car has certainly been used at least.

It does look familiar mind you.....

Perhaps it was featured at Awesome for running too much power with next to no capable braking  :signLOL:

I'm surprised how people go on about the standard brakes on our cars. There not that bad I'd say if your going quick enough to cook these brakes on the road you driveing like most of these other that end up in the ditch and I dare say it wouldn't be down to the brakes. I'd only upgrade if it was being tracked!

Exactly right. If it's only been driven on the road, then it's only going to need standard brakes. The car hasn't been made any heavier, so it doesn't need improved brakes to slow down from a maximum 70(ish) mph, does it? It just get there a lot quicker!

In the bullet points it says two previous owners, in the text below it says one.  I want to know what the defusers for.  Maybe it's going to blow up soon?!

Ok by the same school of thought why map a car if you only intend to do 70mph.

If all you ever do is 70mph maximum then 100hp is more than adequate and so are the standard brakes.  :popcornsoda:
