Really clean looking FTO - like the steering wheel and the rims.
All it needs is a set of springs.

Seb -The wheels are Zauber (Euro Sport) I really like them.


MFFTO - It definately needs lowering - I don't want to lose much ride quality or for the wheels to scrub. What'd be a good choice, and who on here has them with 17's on theirs?

Is the steering wheel an after market one? Looks a bit bigger than the one on mine or maybe thats just the camera angle.

It's a Nardi wheel - they seem to be popular on Mitsus, saw a 07 Lancer SportWagon with a Nardi steering wheel (factory) during the week,

Had the exact same steering wheel in an RS MX5 (that the missus drove :wink: ). I think CJ's (now Adrians) FTO has a similar wheel.

Lovely machine, looks very clean, and certainly doesn’t need much done to it. Well wear! :smt023
Do you mind me asking roughly how long it took between deciding you were going to import one and it landing here?
I’m half considering bringing in one myself, but it looks very daunting for someone who doesn’t know much about importing. :smt102

It was already in the country when I got it. a guy imported it with the intention of making money on it. Lets just say it didn't work out for him!
