First muscle car! Hellcat owner from UK/Gibraltar
Hi all,
After an extensive search for an 8 speed, Granite kitty I found a brand new one for the right price hiding in Solingen, Germany. Last week, I drove her back to the UK and I'm mightily impressed.
I'm looking forward to driving her around the alpine routes this summer with my old man and eventually taking her down to Gibraltar. I only use a car once a week so my Hellcat will be used to do a weekly food/supplies shop, runs to the airport, touring holidays and weekends away. My missus will be insured to drive her too which is slightly worrying as she's impatient and heavy footed.
Things I've bought so far:
Sto-n-Sho licence plate bracket/mount.
Locking fuel cap (just in case anyone spiteful decides to pour sugar in the tank)
Locking wheel nuts (just in case anyone takes a fancy to the wheels)
Tint kit for side markers
Billet Tech catch can
Indoor cover
Seat covers (for the harsh summers in Gibraltar)
DIPS airflow guard and trunk/boot handle
Differential brace
Shopping list:
Clear xpel wrap (cheaper than having it resprayed)
82214925AB boot mat (everywhere is out of stock or really expensive)
This site has been a big help before, during and at the end of my search.
Thanks gang,
Colin

Welcome from Northern Virginia! Enjoy!
Welcome to the forum and community from Los Angeles. Congratulations on securing the objective. That’s a gorgeous car right there. Drive safe. Cheers!!
Congrats! Cranking it up in Gibraltar on a quiet, cold morning should scare the crap out of three countries at once! 
Congrats on the new Cat! I bet you have some envious neighbors. I remember walking through the Rock in maybe '96 and that laser triggered soldier that would pop out and say "HALT! WHO GOES THERE!" Scared the shit out of me! Lol
Congratulations. I bet there aren't many Hellcats in Gibraltar. Have fun and enjoy
Nicely done. Enjoy that gem of American automotive genius. Fuel..? Tuning..? Pics..? Should be a blast. Lots of badass asphalt OK ver that way
