That is VERY nice. The engine bay looks fantastic. The wheels really suit the car, and the height is spot on. It takes a lot to beat a 'proper' tech II sport, I would (and do) have one over an M3 anyday, although am in a minority there!

Theres modifications that can do the car justice instead of making it look chaved and cheap, and I think this car has acheived a good look by using the right modifications.

This tech 2 clearly shows that the right wheels, stance and good condition paintwork can look awesome and doesnt have to look nasty.

I am a bit of a purist but love a good tech 2 with the right wheels and stance.

awesome

well done

I am a total purist when it comes to tech 2 sports but this is a work of art mate!!

Infact i would honestly go as far to say this is the best lightly modified tech 2 i have ever seen.

I am also extremeley jealous of your engine bay. Unbelievable!!

Love it..... :D

Car looks beautiful, just missing one thing under the engine bay, the little plate that bolts onto the rocker and inlet, just on the right side of the breather hose. :D

I've been having a bit of a s**t day today & your car has just brought a smile to my face :D

Definitely one of the nicest lightly modded Tec 2's I've seen.

Great work mate!

Okay, to get the negative stuff out of the way, I have a serious issue with streched tyres!! Hate it... :puke: In my opinion it looks awful, and certainly does nothing for handling characteristics either.

But. Having said that, the rest of the car is nothing short of flawless!! Totally and absolutely stunning mate. I salute you!! :rock:
