Default New to site - here's my pride and joy...just now

Had the bodykit fitted 4 months ago now looking to do some engine mods after some repairs to my bonnet and bumper have been done due to M61 debris

Welcome to the site

Not my cup of tea, as I'm not a fan of bodykits, BUT it is VERY shiney !!

The BugEye wheels do suit the Classics, and of course, you got it in the fastest colour

Enjoy the site - just engage your bullsh1t filter

Cheers for the welcomes.

I agree it's not to everyones taste but to say its terrible?????
If someone disliked Angelina Jolie they woudnt say she was terriblbe/ugly just not to their taste But thats neither here nor there.

The engine is just the standard UK turbo 2000 with a blitz air filter attached for now.

Cheers,

Moff

Welcome ttc

Must admit , I am not a body kit fan either but it certainly doesnt look terrible. At least it looks professionally fitted and painted which some dont.

Cheers buddy,
The guy has done a great job fitting it.
Bodykits are definately a great talking point. They are worse than Marmite, you either love them or hate them

sorry moff, i didnt mean to come across as its a terrible job, i basically meant i think the kit looks terrible on the car, in my humble opinion. no doubt the workmanship is excellent, really good job, i just think the kit spoils the car.

but again, you like it and its a marmite thing as you said buddy

Yes mate all the time....3 times in a week. 1st time was an ANPR car and gave me a £30 fine the rest just followed me for miles lol.

They let a banged up Corsa drive by with a proper bad plate with the spacing wrong and a bolt through the 8 to make it look like a 0 or an O...Typical

I like the car too

Nice to see someone breaking from the norm and not just putting the usual 99 spec front bumper with P1 splitter on (yes I agree they do look good though) and STi 6 rear wing.
Personally I think that since you've put a big chunky bodykit on, you need 18inch wheels to match.
Good on ya

I agree with you on the wheels, however, i will now be concentrating on engine mods for now as the wheels dont look out of place. No doubt i'll end up seeing the wheels i like and get them first but thats by the by
