You're right it does ride a little high and I'd love to lower it a little but it'll have to wait. It will need some research as the ride is already very hard and I don't want it to be any stiffer, I've had Eibach progressive springs on cars before and they have been very good so maybe worth some investigation.
The Ducati Corse is a limited edition although I'm not sure how many were sold in the UK, opinion seems to vary between 240 and 500. I suppose its kind of a diesel GTA. It has the 170bhp version of the 1.9JTD with a sport button which sharpens throttle response, it has a Q2, special interior with red stitching and Ducati logos embroidered into the head restraints, auto dim rear view mirror, special wheels, badges, red calipers, rear spoiler etc. It doesn't have the Bose stereo for some reason though. Its a really nice looking car and surprisingly quick.
