Looking well JJ, you've obviously had the polish out! All you need now is some lowering springs ;)

Car looks immac - don't know why you need a complete resray unless you are going for a colour change.

I'd add Clear Repeaters to that list of mods - and drop the Carbon Fibre Bonnet unless going for aftermarket skirts and bumper. Would look a little odd on its own - Just my twopence worth!

Yes tis me Kace ... still here

Myfekin ..... It looks good, but theres a lot of stone chippings on the wings, and the odd scratches here and there - I've had it for 7 years so its beginning to look a little tired. Like the idea of clear repeaters.

Suprised you think the c/f bonnet would look strange. I thought of a semi c/f spoiler to balance it. Need a photoshop wizard to work on it :D You've got me worried now I thought it would look cool. However they are so rare to find at the moment ... can't find them anywhere
