If it's completely stock, some mild mods really wake it up.

As you have a pre 2013, read up on the 5th bow issues.

Check the water management bag for clearance when lowering the top - where the last bow (5th bow) passes the bag or get hold of the TSB about the water management bag and read it. Do not put the top down in cold weather.

That said - drive and enjoy!

No car washes! Mild PH balanced soap & soft bristle brush a couple of times a year. Enjoy it!

A "love the drive" windscreen and a sports bar really makes a big difference
