More power (V6 Supercharged as standard)
More cabin space
Adjustable Steering Wheel
Lower ride height
Bose sound system
UK Sat Nav option
Digital dash similar to the Lexus LFA and Nissan GTR
Body shape/style wise should be similar with another facelift front and rear end


Maybe even a Turbo Diesel option for us daily drivers?

I wouldn't let Bose anywhere near any sound system ever. Dreadful over-marketed, overpriced crap.

Stuff I'd change.
No starter button, or keyless entry with a start button.
Adjustable steering wheel
VSA (that doesn't fail) as standard
Better resistance to aquaplaning
Fewer rattles.

Agreed. But still better than stock Honda

It's one of those hype things, majority of the public will think, Bose sound system is the best out there, and will equate the price with that.

In reality, there are better aftermarket audio brands

Aluminium suspension arms, manual roof, LED headlights, J32A2 engine (320bhp), aluminium brake calipers, plastic front wings, aluminium boot, more raked windscreen, carbon propshaft, more supportive, lighter seats.

Realistically, 1150kg is doable. Price would be in the £35k bracket.

Need to sort the ride height but the power and torque are now more than enough

One of the very 1st things that I changed as the OEM one is shite.

What else would I change?
Heated seats should have come as standard rather than have to retro fit them.
The switches for the mirrors could be better positioned.
There needs to be a bit more lighting in the cabin.
