That’s the 1st  2012 ISF to be on the market for a good while!! And it’s got a sunroof ,face lift and the rare wheels,and Blue is the fastest colour 😎,I don’t think it’s too overpriced if your looking for that specific car? 
 Having said that there seems to be more for sale recently (I’m yet to see a 2014 for sale)so there’s a bit more choice.

Ps, You won’t regret buying one , I love mine ,fantastic car ,I daily mine and it hasn’t put a foot wrong in 4 years!!

Where in Herts, I’m smelling a convoy opportunity.  I’m in Hemel.

Cheshunt mate,I’ll be going m25 probably coming past your junction about 745

I’m coming leaving Hertfordshire At around 7ish looking forward to it😎

Hi, just a heads up ,there is a isf rear bumper for sale on eBay (bumper has seen better days )but it does have the tips if anyone needs one or both.

Hi mate,there’s one on eBay it’s been up a while now

Fitted my new eBay winter wheels this weekend and have to say there growing on me, 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears so a little more rubber and they fill the arches better,I’ll run them till spring then get them refurbished and finished all grey . Happy days.

Hi I would say cam variable adjuster problem, get it checked I believe there’s a electric control valve in there That can cause problems 

Hi as above,H&S only deletes secondary cats and replaces with silencers, no modifications needed to sensors etc no mil lights ,tested my emissions after fitting and hardly any change, flew through mot no advisory’s 

I’m in depending on price etc.

I have Bridgestones on still and have been pretty happy with them, I find them predictable and quiet and the grip was ok when they were new ,rears are getting a little low now and are struggling to put the power down a little, I’ve been very impressed by vredesteins had them on my old 535 and just had them fitted on my wife’s Impreza wrx  , and my son has them on his vrs , good grip and in the rain , always seem to be near the top on tyre reviews, don’t know if they come in isf sizes?

Lovely thanks 

Lol yes ,sausage fingers 

Hi guys I will need new tyres for the f soon and I’m going to go slightly wider can anyone confirm 240/35/19 275/30/19 fit with no problems, I’m on stock wheels and suspension, thanks guys

That sounds quite respectable for the neighbourhood.

Thanks.  Did you fit it yourself or get a garage to do it?

ive got a garage quoting £200 to do the exhaust and front disks/pads that’s I’ve bought.  (God they are heavy)

 

 

Hi, I fitted mine but £200 sounds a bargain for brakes as well

How do the ceramic tips look in real life? Are you able to see them before ordering? Just asking as I'd like to see them in person before deciding.

The ceramic coating isn’t done in-house at H&S ,Ian sent me the colour sample picture and they came back pretty much the same as the pic ,looks slightly matt feels smooth and cold like metal 

Hi, had my H&S cat back on for about 3 months now and I’m still loving it, I leave for work at 5am but it’s only a tad louder  than stock and drops to a burble after about 10 seconds , it’s not a lot louder  at crushing speeds just enough IMO ,it’s only when you pass 3000rpm that it really starts to growl and then really gets going and sings to the red line,I went with the x pipe and have no drone to speak of ,I don’t think it sounds as aggressive as a AMG but it’s a fantastic roar  and even gives a little crackle and burble when down shifting in manual ,the quality of the exhaust is good and fitting  was bang on (hardest bit was removing the old dummy tips)I went for the oval tips with ceramic coating on the tail pipes and am happy I did as they clean up really easily, the tail pipes just bolt on so I’m going to get some carbon effect round ones from eBay to have a change from time to time. Fantastic mod to the f and now sounds like it should.

Totally agree with Northern Dan

I’ll try for some action clips this weekend, it’s pretty aggressive sounding when pushed 😎😎😎

Yes I got the x-pipe ,I have noticed a tiny drone when cold at approx 1500 rpm ,lol it’s certainly a lot louder on start up, luckily not half as loud as the straight pipe on my wife’s Subaru 🤫

I might do some mesh behind the tips and order some round tips in case I want a change
