the lad i got it off sprayed it, only plans i have at the mo is to get it sprayed got rear arch pannels that should be getting fitted on saturday then it will go from there. got a gmax kit and a set of 15" alloys to put on it think that will be enough its just a run around.

Derv MPG should be a lot better than petrol though, so miles-per-£ still makes oil burners more economical.

Looks a bit 'A-Team'. Appears straight & solid enough.

True RJ, True. Would like to see how much power it could produce, theres a guy from spain/portugal with a lovely 5door derv. Id be tempted to agree with Pester and go all matt black... could look pretty cool.

To me the stupid 'bad boy' eyebrow things look worse than the paint job. Rip them off, the paintjob does kind of work - with the black bumpers and wheels. I wouldn't be embaressed to drive it.

I nearly bid on that....does the black hide anything nasty old repairs or did someone just feel artistic??

Looks like a cut and shut only its been done along the car rather than down it lol, id say if youre embarrassed to drive it as she is, just mask the windows and rattle top half matt black too, wont take long and ya can do it one day this week, in time for pv, mint!

Know what, if you could get SR Rub strips and fitted them, sort out the rear 1/4 Panels and extend the boot lid Black up like the GTE Vynal, you might just get away with it......
