Just a thought - obviously any market decals/graphics can be easily removed with a hairdryer etc but can the Mitsi ones ie Chamonix/Greenfields etc be as easily removed ?

Got a few ideas for the Deli when I eventually buy it that won't really work with those but I don't want to rule out otherwise decent motors.

Cheers

That would be a child with access to a lock up full of solvent/adhesive remover then.....

Fortunately, I live in East London so I wouldn't completely rule that out! Wink

Decals only come of with pressure washers when you don't want them too Twisted Evil

I mean't for the adhesive - sounds like you had a total nightmare getting that off !

Mind you theres a nice looking black over silver Royal Exceed just popped up ebay thats not too far from me (Southend -home of the avg speed camera)......wonder which of the kids i could leave at home/strap to the roof if i went for a 7 seater or even in that bit of extra boot space...

i remember looking at different delis before i got mine and i saw some jaspers and chamonaixs that were more expensive than decent royal exceeds...chances are when you buy them from a garage people don't actually know anything about royal or super exceeds being the top models. I got my super exceed from a dealer where they were selling it cheaper than a not so good conditioned Jasper.

Mate,
You are very right in that, I've only been looking for a Deli for around 6 weeks but i've seen the difference - i've test driven a few but the main problem is that i really need an 8 seater and the top spec models all seem to have the cap chairs which was obvioulsy a higher grade option but its very frustrating to see some much higher spec cars for sale for 5-600 quid cheaper than the ones i'm looking at.
Fortunately, i don't really need an 8 seater till July (when the twins arrive) so ,as frustrating as it is, i'm kinda biding my time and waiting for the right Deli ate the right price but all the time pestering the good people on here with what seem like silly questions but there is a reason for them :?

I can safely say all the royal and super exceeds and even some exceeds are 7 seats...However it is possible to change to an 8 seater by buying off ebay or alike, i don't think it would be to much effort to fit as the mountain points for 8 seats must all be ther anyway. Its only a second bench seat

Already covered that on another thread somewhere,
The conversion would involve loads of welding and removing underbody parts etc - i'm also lookig at the possibility of bolting in a double front seat from something like a VW t4 but i need to find both in a scrappy to see how the mounting bolts etc line up and much work that would involve if its even possible
