Phew!!!
.. thankfully..not me.. 
.. that WOULD put you off yer tea .. but the dear old Express...Fast Car asked if they could shoot it for next issue and asked is if we could come up with something "special" styling wise.
The result was our talented body shop taking a grinder to both the quite rare Tommy Kaira bumper.. which i had kinda hacked a bit off already.. and bits of spoilers lying around the joint
.. and after much fettling, smoothing and painting we get this 
As ever.. will probably productionise this... so if enough you shout will get it in the shops for you by Christmas
Cheers
Trouser
PS.. Mr Tang.. hope you're proud

Hmmm Trouser redoing Tommy Kaira's work! 
It does look fantastic in the flesh, the workmanship is amazing.
I know the where the other bit came from so the transformation is very impressive!

Dan as Trouser is running the TSL-Hispec 6 pot brakes I think you will have no problems what so ever with four pots!
Zip - Trouser has something for you. I remembered to bring it all the way up from the Sarf for you!

Was down at TSL with 555-Shaggy yesterday (booking mine in for 4-wheel alignment) and that new front end on the Trouser Expressdoes look good.
But will it cope with the speed humps at the Goose?

An FMIC plus a post98 bonnet to take away the annoying gap between the old bonnet and those wierd looking morrettes.
Still way over the top IMHO, still I am sure Max Power will love it.

Cheers guys
wotcha Mikey.. wher u bin mate?.. must be time for a coffee .. or a beer.soon
Michelle,.. don't worry we will be producing a more impact resistant version m8
.. something trick will happen there soon don't worry..can't do it all at oncehave been seriously tempted with an FMIC.. if we can dial out some of the throttle lag on the Motec it will happen.. might be nippy then
Next transformation to appear here will be a standard 1.6 2WD to recieve the full Trouser treatment.. seriously!!.. pics WILL be posted
.. not sure if the lil' motor will move all that extra plastic tho!! cheers

Hi mate.. would want to try and retail it for about £450ish inc. VAT.... want it to fit as well as the original TK bumper did.. quite a clever fixing system and I REALLY hat aftermarket body stuff that needs all the fixings fabricating.
have had quite a few enquiries on this already.. keep it up and we will make it !
Cheers
Paul
