From a dealer that price sounds about right ;) - not bad actually , the dealer had 20,000 on mine when i bought it ( around x-mass ) and mine is only a series II vct auto , but managed to get them to take 10,000 cash , with all onroad costs included too , wd though , nice car ;) . oh and i managed to get insurance for 20,500 through Alliantz insurance for mine , so you did ok as far as im concerned , its still worth what you paid no worries (insurance wise ) , so long as you are happy with what you got for what you paid thats the main thing . I recon you did ok ;)

Thats is the better front end ! - ( tickford twin lights ) , unless you mean a different spoiler ?? .. A far as mods that up to you / depending on your budget- there is alot of small mods you can do yourself quiet cheap, but if you have $$ to spend then maybe look at a turbo or supercharger, costs way more but you'll definatelly notice your mods and won't be displeased with the results . Personally i find nothing wrong with the way they look now , but thats just me imo, the standard spoilers look quite nice if the car is lowered more, and rim sizes well thats just personal choice too , up2 you what you want to do with it though, plenty of ideas for you on this website to go off anyways .good luck
OH ...Funny you mentioned about the twin wing on the boot of some xr's, i hate them too ..lol , but im sure some people love them .

I think the XR has a different head and cam... that's the only difference, and it adds 7kw's (157 vs 164).

Thats the best numberplate surround in the world. Oh yeah, and the cars not half bad either :

Looks good. Meteroite is one of my favourite colours on the AU

very nice looking car, the colour is awsome..

1 thing though, get rid of the clear plastic light covers, you'll be suprised how much better it looks without them.. was my very first mod! lol

V8 over a I6? HAHA the extra 2 cylinders only slows them down ;)
