G6E Turbo....Grandpa Spec

Postby Barnsy » October 13th, 2012, 3:05 pm

Traded in my 2005 BA XR6T today and got myself a 2009 Velvet G6E Turbo with Cashmere interior, optional 19's.

I noticed it had G6E badges on it and was wondering why somebody would do that...it turns out the original owner wasn't allowed a G6ET as a company car so he got the dealership to list it as a G6E on the purchase documents and swap the badges over.....like no one would notice at WOT!

I have never driven a car with the ZF in before, massive difference to the ol 4 speed!
I love the fart on gear change and DSC kicking in when the single pegger tries to light up.

Keeping it stock.....for the moment.

Here are some pics:

Velvet with cream leather and 19's - best combo on the G6ET.

I'm kicking myself that I sold my one at the end of last year because they haven't really dropped in value, so I could have kept it way longer! They are an amazing car for the money.

Good luck with it.

Perfect!! nice power and perfect combination of colours! Love it! you need to take some more photo's make the colour pop!
Strive for perfection in everything we do. Take the best that exists and make it better.
When it does not exist, design it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough.
