pretty much a tried and tested route really apart from the m3 arches. what are you planning on using for this, genuine, metal or fibreglass replicas?.

I was going to go for genuine metal and that would work well on the fron end but I would have to do some cutting to the rear so I will most likely look for a realy good fibreglass replicas. somebody said that I should go for pat parts for those but I know they are a poor match up

I have decided not to sell her after all, and instead have bought her a few presents some 15 inch bbs wheels the proper cross spokes a new radiator as she needs one and a m tech 2 rear spoiler. I cant wait until they arive and I can fit them. next month I will buy the m tech body kit after tht it the lowering springs

so she is still under contsruction

change of plans I am thinking of getting the Breyton Body Kit. I really wanted the m-tech 2 body kit but you have to be absolutly super fast to buy one of those here. and I do like the way the Breyton body kit looks in the pictures I am just not 100% convinced that it will look good I can almost picture it with a m-tech 2 spoiler and 17" wheels

what do you think yes/no

any comments welcome
