Looks great there, nicely done.

I must say, the only two things I'd do, are to have the stitching in the steering wheel changed to red, and I do think the wheel/stance issue needs looking at. Either drop it a bit more, or some bigger wheels required. Arch gap is just a bit big to pull off the Comps for me.

Great job though, brave move, but I think you've pulled it off!

Very nice.

The RS badge's need to go red rather than blue.

Love the car and the colour!

Are those RS500 seats? Think the steering wheel would look better with blue stitching and also with black RS badges, top effort!

Yes its an rs500 interior brand new, the stitching we have already talked about but for now the car is back and enough money has been spent so we'll look into other bits and bob's to do and change in the future.

Looks bloody amazing, agree on the RS500 wheel though.. for the sake of a couple hundy, it'd finish off the interior nicely IMO.


Cheers,

looks good! real nice in red!

only thing like others is the wheels , 1 there not big enough but i think the main thing for me is the fact there not glossy , the hole car has a ace red and gloss black look , but the wheels are just like satin black , lets it down imo

other than that bet your pleased!

Very nice I must say, been following this one closely. No disrespect though, gotta agree with ppl on the wheels though, I know its been done 2 death but Magnum Grey or a similar colour wheel on even the original wheels n lowered on the deck, I reckon that would look as hard as fook n certainly get noticed

Looks amazing mate! Think it might look better without the focus on the back and with red stitching on the wheel but other than that top work!

Needs RS 500 floor mats with red stitching as well. Glad the interior turned out looking good with the car, who stitched the door cards for you? Can get steering wheel restitched instead of replacing.

The guy who was painting the car actually just got us another door card. The wheel and mats are next on the list. Never ending!
