Im in to minds weather to keep it std looking (yes that front splitter is being removed lol) or to cossi rep it with a wrc spoiler.

Whats ur views?

IMO, replicas are not the thing, what would be better for you to spend your money on,

tidy it up, original looking

turbo it, and see the smile on your face get bigger,
espeicially when you just gone past an evo/impreza

G1EN 16-01-2007 11:31 AM

std all the way, especially in that colour... :D just loose the splitter.. change it for a laguna and get some escort cossie rims and deck it.. :top:

Have you seen how much it would cost to Cossie rep it properly? :eek:

IMHO I would lower it, bit of de-locking, de-badging, colour code handles etc, and just give it a general freshen up. Keep the Voodoo's tho fella, i think they look ok! :top:

p.s. what side repeaters are they? - they look tiny!

p.p.s. Loose the seat splitter and get a Megane one - similar to a laguna but smoother with no holes ;)

true i c what u mean about the cossi kit its £850 just for the kit then ive got to get it re sprayed etc... i like the idea of de-locking, de-badging and colour coding the handles :clap: i quite like the voodoos on it ive thought about going back to std tho and lower it 60mm not sure tho :? the side repeaters are from 'nomads' just small smoked oval ones :top: the splitter is coming off n i will get a magane one mate defo :cool:
