Looks good mate but I prefer the 3 panes down the side. What engine have you got in it? I got my first 4i last month and love it

Your car, your choice but to me it's just wrong to butcher a 4i shell and end up with something that looks like a replica based on a 1.3 Base with some Cosworth bits!

It is possible to add the best bits of Cosworth style and retain the unique 4i shape.







All IMO, of course!

What i ment is a 4i shell is unique and shouldn't be made into a cossie rep.

I have the best of both worlds now

But i do think you get more attention and comments when your out in the 3dr

I don't know I saw a black 4i at Scarborough and that looked amazing so it's still as rare if not rarer than a 3dr

Iain- I agree with you. Your car looks lovely. Bit like mine but just a different colour.
