Everything about this car features something special! Those calipers looks ace, are they off something? Or an off the shelf job?
And that turbo is an awesome bit of kit.
I hope I can get a ride when it's done

Anthrecite would be spot on, silver just wouldn't work on a white 3 door. Has to be slightly darker.

That picture of the rear end looks well

As for the wheels on a 3dr i'm always looking for another set of wheels for mine but can never decide - was waiting for a black car to get some in Anthracite and one has - dodgy offset at the rear i'd have gone for an 8.5" ET25 - sorry for the slight hi-jack but.....

This is a seriously clean Saph mate, has the potential to be head and shoulders above any others I've seen myself... I appreciated getting a nosey round it for real when I was down. Look forward to seeing progress on here and hopefully taking another look round it next year when it's all complete.


Cheers,
Grant
