What an absolute pleasure it is to be in this car, its fantastic. The looks you get are not real, the local max power 17 year olds dont have a clue what it is and just stare in aw at it


Now that its done and all the hard work and cash has been spent on it no doubt youl end up selling it for half the money ya mad c*nt



No im sure this ones here for good am i right bud




Maybeeeeeeeee a Y B

That looks utterly superb mate.

how much did it set you back all in?

Id love a mk2 so badly.

love the orange paintwork, id personally add some carbon fibre to it but you'r looking for an original look

for effort
