Gotta be loving the red interior! But you're right... the US spec bumpers are just horrible. A nice set of 15" BBS's and Euro spec bumpers would really set it off (and ruin the originality, but hey...) 8)

I'd take it, even tho its not a touring. What price a rust free car with leather and aircon? Shame its LHD of course...but that makes it easier for manifolds :D

The interior is great! not sure about the door trims though, maybe a bit much.
I do hate US bumpers though.

Those bumpers look like they couldn't make their minds up as to weather they should be chrome or plastic :mad:

Nice car but fuck driving it, looks like the tyres are about to fall apart :eek:
