Hello all I'm Rich and have owned my Satin Silver Premier Edition for a couple of weeks now, after searching for a few months for the right one. Both me and the mrs are car nuts (surprising for a girl, not many out there do!) she wasn't too keen on it at first but after a few drives out she really likes it!

Few of her cars (just to show there not the usual corsa, fiesta!)

Brand new clio 200 - specced up herself, cup chassis, recaros, speed lines

And now the EP3.......

I bought the car private after viewing loads, in all colours and ages. As Soon as I saw it, I knew its was a tidy example. completely standard (which I liked) as I can do most of the mods myself.

As loxy said. Some nice cars there man. You know people will also want to see more pictures of the mrs right ;)
 
Very nice list, I'm personally not a French car fan, you seem to have had a lot of them lol, but hope you enjoy the ep3 :D

Yeah french cars aren't to everyones taste, they are great fun straight out of the box. Megane was really nice - 2ltr turbo, LSD, brembos, was great for fast road driving.
 
Nice collection mate.

I had a French car before. That's my first and last french.

About the wheels, get it black or white, would suit silver perfectly. :D
 
Good choice on the satin silver!
Nice collection of past cars too! Especially the Evo :D

Your missus...rs 200 looks tidy too aha.

Cheers, yeah the evo was far the best car I have owned! sadly change in circumstance's made me sell. but will go back to another one day!
 
Yesterday when I joined up I was getting a FRSU by Stevie at Grinspeed - I must say it has transformed the car!! Love the stance it gives.

Few pics from yesterday.

Tonight since the sun was shining I thought I'd give it a quick wash. Waiting for a day I'm free to give it a full detail inc machine polish.

Thanks Rich
 
Looks to be a lovely car bud.

I think Satin Silver is becoming my favourite colour. Especially in Facelift guise.
 
Nice looking EP3 bud, and an excellent history before it!

I put the same springs on the day before you did, makes quite a difference doesn't it? I think it gives a great stance, though I'm pretty sure mine is still settling and getting lower by the day.
 
I've heard nothing but good things about the FRSU + Springs. I'm going to wait a couple of months before doing it though, I've only had the car 3 weeks, going to wait until I'm more used to the handling before getting the FRSU so I can notice the difference.

It looks a really nice ride height though, plus it's pretty much sold the rear tints to me for my EP3, granted yours is a prem :p

I have only owned mine for a couple of weeks! Found the handling shocking as soon as I went into a corner!
 
Haha did you come from the likes of an Evo though? My previous car was a boat so the CTR is awesome in comparison!
