Looks a nice car. Have you smoothed the front bumper.

Not a bad looking car! Not keen on gold wheels. They would look great in white but don't think white would suit the silver.

How much clearance have you got between your front tyres and the struts? Nice car by the way.

That looks great thinking of fitting a quick shift to my saph 4x4, it's like stirring a bowl of
Porridge

The EsCos alloys look really cool and suit it way more than the previous gold wheels!
