lol...wicked..im getting to know the full history of my car!

Thanks guys for all the comments...The plans, to be honest its pretty good nick, but there are afew light touches i wanna do,
Full service inc cam belt
Black strip on the bumpers
Black original "RS logo" on boot
Morettes maybe (gloss black)
Bonnet vents (gloss black)
Wheels resprayed (gloss black)
Light smoke the windows
Change some of that under bonnet chrome to Matt Black
Take all the wishbones/suspension/pipes etc and give the underneath of car a once over after seeing what your guys have done!
