nice car there mate, all it needs is a drop, alloys and a m tec 2 kit and it will look the business. i personally wouldnt go for 15s though, i think alpina reps will look the best. anyways good luck with the modding.

cheers for the interest guys.. Hugefoot, the cars are awsome, i wouldnt say it was the quickist, but its not too bad considering im only 19, and the insurance is a grand.. which is cheaper than most 1.8 rear wheel drive cars!! TBG, your cars bad boy! id love a cabby at some point! if i see ya il definatly pap ya! any way enough chat, heres todays action..

That's a great first RWD car to get into. Congrats!

Get the suspension sorted and get some brakes on it and you'll find it'll be plenty quick enough for you through the twisties. .

Good to see you enjoying the car.

Don't bother getting into an argument mate, he's just provocing a reaction and he has been reported to the mods!

Nice try! Subtle, too, with all the shouting.

What's that? 11 posts and 11 pieces of nonsense? Give it a rest. It's dull.

Hope you're enjoying your car, merkyboy. You've put a lot of work into it. :thumb:

I think the car will look 10X better with SE skirts personally. That would be a good move 8)

Car looks very nice :D
