Looks really nice mate :D only thing i would do to that car would be lower it on some decent suspension (not LOW) just to sit nicely on top of the alloys! lol! thats just me! but its poo hot mate :) Where you get those plates from? they look beast! a lot cleaner than getting pressed plates... :)

Not going to lower it tbh mate, keeping it nice and comfy ride! Actually looks ok in real life height wise! I did think to myself looks a little high in those pics thou! Only plans are to get forge recirc valve (standard valve prone to breaking after remap) and then remap, than getting some pillar gauges, will get a boost gauge and water temp one as oddly doesn't haven't a water temp gauge in speedo for some reason haha.. And here's link to plates http://www.platesforcars.co.uk/3d_gel_r ... lates.html

Yeahh it's so much better than a corsa b, did feel massive at first but I'm used to it now! Running costs aren't the cheapest thou, I'm only getting about 50 miles to £10 and that's at 30-40mph in 6th gear!!

finance is gay, if you cant afford anything then dont bother buying it. apart from a house obviously.
