Alright Nath, not had time to come over lately. Need to get things done at my house now the plasterers have finished so have been painting/cleaning and tiling.
Will try and come have a look before the 3dr goes back though.
Did you have a wedding reception or something last week? Saw the massive tent at the rear!
Oh and Moonstome wont be my colour when the saph is finally done - new shell is crystal blue

I own this car now!
Guy Nath sold it to did 120 in 3 years and it just sat in a heated garage so the condition of the car is as in the pics!
Ive done a few changes tho since ive bought it which are :
* Got rid of the leather and TV screens and gone back to cloth ( was originally a cloth car, hence why i did this plus the leather didnt suit the condition of the car ) . The cloth is out of a 10K car so minty mint!
* Got rid of the nomads rear lights as well as the clear indicators and twins and gone back to OE lights all round!
* Removed the double din tv headunit and gone back to a single headunit and storage tray
* Taken off the coilovers and gone to brand new Koni / Ahmed set up
* Removed the plate and gone to my own
* taken off the image breather tank and gone back to std airbox
* Removed the zenon headlight kit
* fitted new alarm and activated the tracker
So this is the car now!
Car has been fully detailed too, so better now than when Nath had it!
Plans are to maybe:
* do the engine bay more OE yet go BT, but we will see
* Std front splitter set
* de chrome the brakes
Oh and UPDATE MY SIG lol
Thanks
