The car looks great but those fins make a car look awkward and top heavy. No offense mate but it looked better without them IMO

That's cool mate I'm a little with you on it, I'll give it a little more time and then if I'm not still sure they'll come off easily enough. Least I can tick it off the list as tried n tested haha

Sounds like you've got your work cut out for this year

You'll need to get you under-pinnings done too

Nothing really gone on recently apart from driving the car.. Sorted what's happening with Alyn@ASperformnce re the 2.5 engine hopefully he'll come on and put a exact spec list for me...

Gave the car a long awaited clean today as it had turned grey with all this bad weather... Anyway here's a few pics from today efforts












Next thing on the to do list is give the exhaust a good scrub and tidy under the bonnet

Cheers for looking

Thanks mate what you having done? Don't worry about it mate I got it all the time and still do occasionally... I like the look though mines black just to blend in so not as noticeable.

That's cool I stole the idea anyway gives if a subtle look imo not that in your face

Wow I love this car looks awsome! All the time! Think you just need to loose the pink sticker on the rear number plate lol

Would still buy this off you if you ever sell it as I think it will take me about 10 years to get mine to this look! Haha
