exterior is now done, im happy with it as it is, I love the standardish look. no bodykits or anything for me.
got stainless steel mesh on
clear side repeaters with chrome bulbs
show plate on the front
built in fog light
aftermarket spoiler
drilled and grooved front disks
lowered 40mm
17" konig wheels on low profile tyres.

currently changing all interior lights to blue LED's.
got a momo handbrake on,
ordered a chrome tip nob and some chrome dial rings.
yet to order my new headunit to replace the old kenwood,
i have upgraded all speaks.
looking at getting some black/grey alacantra seat covers.

engine is 2.0 GR V6 with an ITG induction kit.

plans for the summer are GPX brake upgrade with grooved discs and ebc redstuff pads.

replace the tappets, give it a full service.

forgot to mention here is my personal website with pics and info on the car....

Hi Phil & welcome.

Car's looking well.
I like the fact that you've the built in fog, those horrible bolt on jobbies that are fitted to a lot of english cars spoil the lines...

The 16,000 is taken from here but doesn't take into account 1994 & 2000 production figures.

I wouldn't worry about it Phil, most of us can't speak the damn thing fluently despite 13 years of 'practice' at school (/hides in anticipation of a gaelgoiri backlash). Gaeilge forum anyone? :idea:
