Came with a fair bit of kit at a good price which makes it even better. Just have a couple of questions for some of you more enlightened folk.Maybe Im not searching hard enough, but I haven't been able to find out what the BFII XR6's have that the BFI's dont.Also, the car is less than 3 years old and has 39km's on the clock, however the log book is missing it's 15,000km service stamp. It does have it's 3,000 and 30,000 though. Anyone know if I might run into any troubles should it require repairs under warranty?The following pics are the result of a full bottle of polish and a full can of elbow grease. I think it was worth it.It's fully stock mate, but hopefully not for long

I also thought they had a slightly different wheel but the one in your pics seems to be the same as mine. car looks quite nice. will look even better once you get started.

You could say that the MKIIs are an updated version from the MKIs, basically all the little kinks that were wrong inthe MKIs have been altered. I havnt come across anyone who has noticed a significant difference between a MKI or II. However, it is generally thought that MKIIs are 'better' than the MKIs.Hope that helps. Enjoy the car!Vebbers

I picked this one up for 20,500 so would have been a fair jump in price for an equilavent turbo.And it had to be in Toxic which made it even harder to find.Last car was a Vectra so the N/A feels prety quick, can only imagine what the turbo must feel like.So it sounds like the only diff between a BF I and II is the badge on the back then lol, unless it was built after June 07.Yeah rims are deff high on the list. Im liking the BBoss Eleanor's, prob go the 19"s. Or the BF Typhoon rims.Been thinking about exhaust too, dont want to spend a whole lot just for a few extra Kw's but. Preference is sound before power, all bark and not as much bite.
