I quite like it.

Know what you mean about the side skirts though. Don't look right.

Like the wheels and the steering wheel don't bother me.

ive just had to start breaking mine due to redundancy and no money,the mot is up the 17th and it needs a abs pump(basically the abs light is on,its still purrfect),:( was completely standard when i bought it last year at 98k,its now done 102k,i paid 1700 for it with f,s,h all old m.o.t`s etc etc ,i since bought heated mulberry leather interior(£300),scorpion s/s backbox(£100),bbs split rims and new yokohama tyres last month(£520) smoked twin hella`s(£120) and a few other bits like smoked fogs,glovebox/cd holder etc,its mint bodywork aswell,i really didnt want to start breaking it but i need to pay my loan off and was not willing to take the £1600 i got offered,if it was 1700 then yeh i would of but due to the parts on it,it looks like im gonna break it,,only sold headlights and grill so far tho,lol,so if you want a vr6 engine in the shell complete running im your man;) lol

Mines for sale at 2k ono and its mint full recaros 8k on engine after full rebuild

This looks good.
Just out of curiosity, what is involved in a full engine re-build, what new parts are fitted and does this mean the engine is like new.
