Hi All
New member here from sunny (sic) UK.
I have lurked this site for a few years, thought it was about time I signed up.
Had my 2002 SC 430 for four years and love it, best car I have ever had.

In the UK my colour is Montrose Blue, but I think you know it as Indigo Ink Pearl in the US with a Helmsdale (black) interior.
Unfortunately we have to have the front Reg Plate and the rear fogs in the UK which completely spoils the look, but cannot change it as it's the law here. Yours look so much better.
I think we have a couple of things on our UK cars that you don't all have, folding mirrors etc.?
Just a few mods so far, custom exhaust (sounds like a V8 now) and staggered 19's.
Have been talking with E Auto in the US to get some Megan LP Coilovers shipped to fit in the spring, because it has to drop..
Hope you like my car, far from radical like most of you guys, but I am working on it. Very little available in the UK to custom an SC unfortunately.

I have learned an awful lot from this forum already, you guys (and girls) really know your stuff.
Thanks for all your help so far and in the future.

Best regards
Steve

Default Welcome!!!!!

Welcome UK Steve.... Glad you finally joined. I like your SC a lot. I am planning modifications on my SC too. My side view mirrors do fold in manually.



24 views and no one bothered to welcome Steve. a shame, a shame....c'mom show you have manners. I'm sure most of you were welcomed to the "CL".

Welcome Steve (WIL44), nice car, wheels and exhaust tips. I really don't think the rear fog lights look that bad.

Welcome aboard Steve! Whereabouts are you in the UK?

I want to install side repeaters. US does not have that, too.

Thanks for welcome and nice comments guys and girls. Hopefully I can improve the car over time. Most of your cars are just fabulous.
Hi Mandy, I never realised that US cars didn't have side repeaters!!!
I live in East London.

Welcome Steve. Does the SC get a lot of comments in the UK? What is it's rival there? I got the Megan EZ's and lowered about 2". I think you'll like the new coilovers.
