[Edd]

Iv not seen this before, looks MEGA clean.

Edd.

[nova_niek]

the missus is 3 and a half monthes preggers

Hey! You must be a dad by now! :cool:

Very nice loon you have there - I love 2 door loons. Wish I had one. Oh well...

BTW if you decide to fit the ATS replica's, be prepared to lower your car to the ground. And then some! I've seen some radical loons from Germany in the past (no pics handy - sorry) and I figured that 13's plus loon arches need serious lowering. Looks the dog's dangly bits though! :thumb:

Good luck with it.
