mainly cause my inner jew came out and i went the cheaper way, plus this way i get to learn fibreglassing and a few other skills which can be handy,

and i'd still have to find and shorten side skirts

why make it something it's not full stop, it's a perfectly good looking car with the only alteration needed being the tickford bodykit, don't say it's to be original because it's not and nothings worse than an overkitted e series wannabe typhoon imo, especially with a stock setup.

i am, once i get my licence probably only cruise around every now and then ad just drive to school and home or home to work only (10 - 15 minute drives) and i'm on decent money for a first year school based so at the moment it's not being spent on much so i can save it up

will probably end up creating a 2nd account to get half of my pay put into to save up or something similar

need to sell my bike though costing to much with my throtle useage

with the area of the bar in the centre i'm thinking of getting some sheet bent up to induct the air flow up into the radiator or might even put another snorkle for the air box down there,

and i found some black insulation tape this afternoon and had a play with putting some stripes on the car, not sure if i'll do a glossy black or a charcoal gray color

You really don't want to put CAI down low. Going through puddles and things, engine's going to get a gutful of water and eff some crap up.

What are the yellow paint pen marks for?
