mine was on gaz coilovers and was raised for winter, new owner has it sat on mondy 6.5js painted white which does not look nice at all when it left me it was on 16" RS7s which handled the best and all had top notch tyres, dont like proxes tbh as they are fine in dry weather but crap in bad weather and too much road noise

I'm not sure if they'll go down in the same vein as an XR2 or RST but to me they'll always hold a special spot, hence why mine looks like this, awaiting the removal of a few more bit & mounting on a spit for a full underbody resto

I loved mine but stripped it due to the sills and rear valance being rotten. Wish I kept it and got it fully restored. Don't give up on it like i did. Biggest regret of my life

It's never let me down so I'm hoping to keep it some time.





Yes yes yes
