Billy says that it isnt very nice underneath. To be honest the pics a great, up close it isnt that good. Wanted to save the shell and restor it after for my daily runaround with standard spec but needs must and i have decided that i want a Magenta one with rs7's on it!

The cossie isnt in that good a condition craig, it looks good in the pics but when you get up close its needing attention. Wasnt going to and thought about it for ages, decided in the end that it was the best.
