Default Re: Finally getting one !!! Wooohooo

So finally made the jump and got the car last Tuesday , Blazing red, 2004 ( but registered in 2005), coupe, 40k miles , sat nav ( useless/ no actual screen) automatic.
few niggles, paint scuffs here n there but not obvious, 2 small patches of rust on the boot lid ( common I believe) and only got passenger top/ back of the heated seat working ( again another common issue)
Asking price was 5k but got it down to 4.5k
An absolute gem to drive !!!! Yes steering is a bit vague n not as precise as my Hyundai coupe v6 but OMG performance wise I was baffled !!!! And exhaust note / engine growl haaaaaaaarrrrrgggg absolutely love it !

So now all I need to know is :
- what needs doing ( service wise) every year ? What mileage/year big service has to be done ( belts/chain, sparks...)
- is there any way to reduce the lag on the acceleration ?
- silly one : any way to have spoiler completely down in one push of a button instead of having to hold button down ( I know I'm being picky now lol)
- if I was to replace the exhaust with a more sporty one would u recommend any good one ?

Thanks

A proud owner ))))))))) aka Seb
