    Very very nice.
    Please dont remove the side strips, they match the bumpers perfectly and "tie" the front and rear together. Looks cool as is imo, maybe change those clear sides to smoked items.

    body work wise its staying standard its how i like them. i prefer the vinyl and blue strip to gsi skirts. the bumpers could do with some back to clack despite them being new and the original colour i like them a bit darker. might invest in some coilovers but its such a smooth ride and im not to bothered about how low can you go! there good springs and shocks bilstein shocks and courtenay springs. the linkage os dodgy though it used to be a turbo and the rear mounts snapped and bent the bar than connect the linkage to the box? so that just need repalcing. the heater matrix rad pipes wore through on the inlet so he has bypassed it but i dont think ill be mending that till the winter it is reallly mint all original bodywork etc it has a small dent in the bonnet and a small cutting in the slam panel where it used to be a turbo but it pretty damn cool. he has got all the reciepts for counrtenay hi tourque cams but it dosent rum lumpy and to be honest i was a little dissapointed with the speed it was pissing down but it still gripped. he converted it himself isnt there something that makes them run slower i.e. afm or something simple? its also got a hiflow cat which i suppose would still restrict it. thats coming straight off anyway.

    i just cant wait to collect in on thursday!! gonna look funny with 3 novas on the drive for a while. will take a pic of them think if i shunt them all up i might just be able to get them all on!
