Lovely car, couple of wee bits I'd change but it still looks fantastic the way it is tbh.

Not bad mate, was hoping it would be ready for the central day but doesn't look that way now. The problem is i am getting more and more tempted by newer machinery ie Focus RS's E46 M3's etc.... its a slippery slope
