    Can't see the decals not being genuine, when the car was painted no one probably reproduced them.

    iirc 3m made the original graphics but I'm pretty sure there like rocking horse sh1t nowadays to get. The guys in sportzone will be able to help you more. There is a company that makes replica graphics for the sports though.

    Is all the original irmscher inlet and twin 40's all intact still then? Have you much original history of the car and the life it's led? :D

    Yeay the inlet is there, it might not stay on though - spoils the noise!!

    I know very little of it's history, just what I've said on the thread really.

    What ever you do IMO is keep hold of the inlet even if you take it off. If, and I mean if you ever sell it on, then enthusiasts (sp) will look for little touchs as that.
    Keep it as original as possible, well unless you use it as it was made and rally the @rse off it

    Oh I'll not be selling the inlet thats for sure!
    And you can't help rallying it when you're driving it - the noise eggs you on!!
