dunno, just love that colour and it was a spur of the moment thing
never liked red cars at all, just this one happened to look good in red, so fancied a change to blue, which I like best

Looking good matey, we need more pics tho
Can i just ask, how much was the kit, as i have just aquired a maxi front bumper and just wondering how much it would cost for the arches and skirts.
cheers

depends on exactly what you want. just for the arches, you're talking about Ł1800-Ł2000 to get them made to order and sent over probably. Shipping alone was over Ł350, lol
I paid a bit more for mine as they're slightly different, the rears especially

Just my opinion, but i think you'll need rally slags rims to pull this off, not convinced that those wheels will suit the car when its done.

lol, I was always uncertain about that, due to the fact I don't generally like red cars, but red always suited this
