Will get some soonish, it looks like a standard vRS that is on Eibachs pretty much though.

Assuming I can get the splitter supplied & fitted at APS I may try to make some snaps then :D

Updated details again, need to empty the boot and tidy up the car this weekend, plus do a bit of driving :P

That's one tasty spec sheet - std looking eh - bit of a sleeper/Q-car look then? :rubchin: :eek: :rofl:

Great work mate....

It's basically standard looking, it's very slightly lower, and the exhaust is a minor hint, although it's not 'massive' or anything. For the rest it is totally stock from the outside.

Not a lot of visible stuff TBH :) Seems to be going rather nicely now though ;)

Exactly what I like! I can imagine a few other road users take exception though! :P :thumbup:

Well this one is not in a good state any longer, thought I'd post about it.

The wheels are shot to pieces annoyingly.. The car is a cat C write off due to a meeting with the central reservation a while back.

Will start a new thread on my 'new' car ;)
