Cheers mate,

when i first wanted a sapph, i wanted everything under the sun modifed on it but then i joined the RSOC and went to a couple of shows and started to see them in standard form and that was it i wanted a standard one.

all my mates said you need some clear front indicators and side repeaters but i just love it the way it is. its a bit of a rare look now day with most poeple opting for clears.

Standard look is the way forward mate...im gonna put mine back to orange indicators etc. This was mine when i 1st bought it & the bug kicked in within days....Stage 1 and exhaust

And YES im sorry i never kept it standard

James_RScos · 13-11-2006, 11:35 AM

Remember those pics paul from your post when you got it an amazing looking car in standard form mate not that it doesnt look nice now.

Really love the standard sleeper look

do it paul, lets start the standard thing off again and i think others will follow.

Nothing wrong with modding the cars(engine, brakes etc) just think looks wise there the bollox and look great standard.

StickerPaul · 13-11-2006, 11:43 AM

I just hope the orange indicators work with the quads on mine, if not standard lights and fog lamps will go back in.

carlo · 13-11-2006, 11:54 AM
