Not good mate! Your modding skills have gone downhill since the 3dr!

I think it's high time you bought another RS big boy!

I'm not sure to be honest. If it had've been a dark coloured car then maybe it would have carried it off better.

Missus looks tidy though.

I like it as you said you are modding your runabout. I like the wheels but would remove the mercades badges.

Put it on air bags, so you can lower it to the floor then it will look but you can still use it as a daily driver, and also colour code all that black plastic, and it will look lower any way.
