cheers for the welcome guys, I'll make sure to check for the seat release handles, and bumper clips. I'll make sure to donate as soon as i get the ST.

After only driving one briefly what can i expect from power 3rd 4th and 5th gears?

(my previous car was a Saxo VTS.. which was a great little car but im growing up and fed up of the chav stigma attached)

the car as standard has some good pulling power in all gears, but there is also massive potential for bolt on mods to bring the power up for a small price. some on here have got theirs running at 330+bhp

Yes. The facelift was launched in autumn 2005, and frozen white didn't replace diamond white until autumn 2006.
