Really like the car Chris, its absolutely mint! Engine bay is stunning, love the wheels/wheel colour, and the mahoosive brakes.

The only thing i'd have done differently is the exhaust.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers for the replies people - taxing it in a couple of weeks, can't wait!!!

Yeah, I don't love the exhaust yet, but i don't hate it either, so for now its staying put! When money allows I'll be making a couple of changes, if I don't love the exhaust by then it might get changed!!

Id keep the exhaust tbh.
Makes it stand out from the crowd more.

Opinions on the new bits please people???
Also wired in a proper connector for my gearbox speed sensor, just need to do an oil change on it tomorrow night and then it'll be back down on its wheels and ready for a damn good wash and polish!!!
