But it's not a real RS

Very nice Spadge, although nicer if it had a transmission tunnel for future options

p.s. bet you get bored with it and get ready for the Tango jokes.....

Like the car, but not the bodykit for FWD.

Hate the suspension and possibly the front brake caliper set-up too.

Apart from that it looks very tidy and should last you at least 1 track day before you part with it

If it aint fast enough I have a fiberglass bonnet and tailgate here that will go straight on

Cheers guys

Nuts it already has a fiberglass bonnet mate
Whats wrong with the front brakes? Did you notice the rear AP's

Going to get it running spot on and then use it at the Beds track day and go from there!
