That looks super clean
always liked the smoked grey over the star silver, dont see many with colourd bumpers, looks good cant wait to see the updates
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

the 1.2 is bulletproof but slow
youd be better going for a 1.4/1.6 as a first conversion, so many people have wreked by jumping from really low power to really high power lol and tbh id take a 14se or 14/16xe before a 2 liter, think the 16xe is near just as fast, and the money saved could buy you tuning gear
thanks mate, thinking about getting a set myself

yeah the 16xe just has something special about it, its just an awesome engine and can reach 150 brake with alot of money but still be unreal having 2liter power in a 1600

Looks great mate! Seen this on another forum and love it! This colour is so much nicer than star silver (what mine is...) aha! Alloys look interesting, how long till they will be on? I agree with above about the 1.6L conversion...
