firstly. thanks Vix :)

the trouble with a G60 is they're almost all LHD so you have to stick out 4ft to see if it's safe to overtake.  :(

don't get me wrong. I think the G60 is a great engine, but in terms of reliabilty and tuning potential the 20vT wins. Unless you've either paid to have it serviced or have proof it's been serviced expect another ?xxx on top to have that done.

everything else a G60 has mine does too. electric recaros, heated electric mirrors, G60 running gear, G60 280mm front brake setup with MC.

rallye headlights? If you pay ?500 for them you must be mad. personally I like the crystal ones which is why I went that route. After seeing fielders with a jetta front I'm tempted to try one of those to see what that looks like, but I can't justify spending ?500. also I thought the rallye lights setup was a bit pants in the actual lighting dept  ???

my interior is almost done. Just need to install the mk4 cab dash and get that in there right. then swap over the door cards to the mint ones I've got in my garage and build my other speaker pod and get that on. After I got my seats shampoo'd they look brand new.

I have no intention of selling the car. I can't see the point in spending time and money on a car and then selling it on.

Did I mention how wonderful Dizzie is  :D
nice try Sarah.

Future plans:
G60 arches, 90 spec skirts, -80mm lowering springs, small ICE install of a 10" sub, maybe some alloy tanks under the bonnet.

not much to go now.  ;D

I'll try my best to get to the next meet where ever it might be.

unless they're mint and genuine i'm not interested. in my experience non-genuine parts don't fit worth a sh!t.

that lad you were with at newark said there was a non-genunie wing on the mk2 with the rallye front and it bent all the grill up cos it didn't fit right ???
