yeah its an XR3I shell with a 2.1 zvh efi turbo in it. I,m not gonna do anything to the bodywork i just want the black bits colour coding, and bang my wheels on, job done. I tried the wheels on the car before it went and i thought they looked good with the car being red. The black on the wheels really stands out.

her red smoked would look good on the back of it, afterburners are fucking shit idea they should stay in the 90's lol

my mate has m3 mirrors in red on his RST there nasty mate let his car down

u have a realy nice car there that just need putting right

IMO red smoke rear lights, std bonnet, std mirrors and 16x8 wheels would be the way to go, its gonna stand out cos if the s1 kit

There's a reason why most have the same wheels, cos they look right for the car
