Default silver bonus project

would look better if you put a standard bonnet on the green 4dr and lowerd it...

also put the silver mk4 back to standard with the zetec lump!

imo!

remove carpets and other non essentual items (meaning most of it) very suprized to find some very good floors having only 1 bit of welding in the past. the zetec will not be standard as soon as funds allow it will get lightened and balanced etc. and the car will be as light as possible. and yes i am thinking of changing them bumpers.




thanks for the comments guys
