Bonus Turbo,work in progress over winter..........
Firstly i had a white RS Turbo, then a white 3i, then swapped everything around into 3i shell....then SCRAPPED the shell due to bad rust problem, also couldn't be arsed!!!!!
....then i bought a black bonus shell off AJC for £200...in process of putting running gear in, just need to spray the engine bay then were off!!!
....Thats it for now....To Be Continued|

im just thinking about when you sell it, saying its a replica...
if your going to do abit of work on it and get it all painted id have just got a genuine rs turbo shell, as it wont matter then if you have got to do work on it and get it painted as you was going to already..
rather buy a real rs turbo, then a bonus rep, get more money when selling it aswell...
sorry i just cant stand replicas, hate them with a passion tbh (unless there minty mint)
also sorry if i sounded harsh, just giving my oppinion mate..
good luck with the build

has to be said wouln't wanna pay top dollar for a "FULL" replica even tho its more likely to be cleaner and less rusty the an orignal
but saying that i'd do it if mine was rotten and couln't be repaired there better shells if you get non sun roof, who cares about money not like there worth 10's of thousands lol

The more turbos,more fun!
Flipping heck Rob you still not finished that bloody rs!
And there is nowt wrong with using a bonus shell, if it has all the correct bits attached to it.
