    Nice looking car, although it is sort of an anti-stealth, a car that looks like it should be fast and isn't. I want to do the opposite, keep my 5-door 55 S looking almost exactly as it is, but giving it some Eibach ARB/Spax RSX coilover/OMP strut brace/GT Brakes/Supersprint exhaust/GSR treatment. Quickness without drawing attention to itself.

    well both my cars are opposite

    iv got a bravo which is quiet (ie standard exhaust), subtle modded, doesnt look 'quick', not badged up but its bloody rapid.

    and iv got punto which is loud, still pretty subtle but is badged up to be quick but its bloody slow.

    i wouldn't call it finished myself, when the centre console is a different colour to the rest of the dash.... ust one thing i picked up on.

    I'm all for sleepers (eg. a gt that's had the 55s treament) but not sure on the opposite.

    theres lots of things which could do with doing but atm it owes me very little money, i could spend more on it, but whats the point, its meant to be a cheap run around.

    indeed, but then cos im trying to pull off it being turbo'd it needed them

    its got those horrid big green FUSION stickers on now too and i aint got fusion stuff, nor would i go near it (unless its free)

    cant wait to get my magnex dtm system on! just need to find someone who will weld it on for me.
