Drives like a new car.

Was strange driving a car that 17 years old for it to feel new.

She is mint though.

Very nice, clean car.. I guess it goes to show that there is always 'the' car out there, waiting to be found.

is it a UK car? as the no plate obviously wasn't but you're in the UK...

i'd just do reversable mods, wheels, suspension, etc etc
'08 GSX-R750, '02 CBR600F, and a beast of a Focus 1.8LX...

Very nice mate. As moofles said, don't do anything that can't be reversed. Clear lenses, lowered and a nice set of genuine Alpinas will be just enough I think.

Cheers

Hi Chaos, nice motor.
You still wanting the MTech boot spoiler? I sent you a PM but think they're a bit unreliable. I've weighed it. Just drop me a line at widget@blueyonder.co.uk
