the-dalester Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 looks nice mate, massive improvement from when you first got it, them alloys you had on at first looked nice in black, what make were they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I love it, looks really good, just needs a turbo now. But what the fuck is that about promising your parents you weren't going to modify it? :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 epic changes there, must feel nice driving that.im not feeling the red piping on the speedlines, thats my own opinion though.some dish and spacers would give you a heap more road presence to bring out the red paintworkwhere do you go from here?
