Looking good Andy :D

Get some photos up of the rear of the car as a whole though :) Just seeing partial photos makes it kinda hard to get the full effect, if you get me? :lol:

Looking miles better now Andy.
Now get that 2i steering wheel off it & get the RS1800 one on :) :)

All it lacks now is the stripes & tailgate badge.

Bonnet & spoiler sprayed & fitted for FITP & it will look the nuts :Q :Q

Pm me if you can get us that MK3 Black Dash for Jasper or if you need a hand with the overheating prob :-?

Looks miles better than it did before mate.

With the turbo stuff put on it and the rebadge and stripes it'll look perfect I reckon.
