if it sounds poo then ill just have to drill my air box to give it a bit of a deeper note lol cant be assed spending that sort of money on a center section :lol:
what other things can i do that will make my car stand out more if you know what i mean just wanting ideas if anyone got any. won't be getting different alloys or spraying mine though as its too expensive lol and my alloys got pretty perfect tyres on atm :) ive put a better project log up on corsasport aswell now too :)
