Thumbs up

nice one! i am a fan of silver color to be honest, and you don't get to see many in silver. the front bumber extension looks nice!and the skirts. how come you haven't had the painted silver? and the extra scoops look good. the good thing is that the styling doesn't shout: hey! look at me. It looks classy. How many miles? any mods?

Ive had the car for about 2 months now, All I have done is to change the exhaust for a P1 backbox and a vlave fitted to cure overboost.
The car had adjustable shocks, HKS inductiion kit, wheels and the front spliter fitted when I got it. The only mods I plan to do are maybe tint the front and rear indicators black, clear side repeaters and maybe a midlevel spoiler, I need to get a scuff on the rear bumper sorted so I may ask about getting the side skirts painted, but its all down to lack of money at the moment.

The other thing is the more understated it is the less mr Policeman or mr Pikey Toerag ignores it

mine is 1988 model and it had these things as standard: 1800cc, 16 valve, turbo, 4wd(there is a switch on top of the gear lever which selects either front wheel drive or four wheel drive, hill standing(a system that you don't have to press the brake when the road faces downwards or upwards-only in 4wd mode), air suspension with changeable height and variable automatic damping, digital dash, trip computer(avg speed, miles remaining, avg consumption,temperature,and many more), air condition. and it's a 2 door coupe.what do you think??

that's from a site i know!! i have this pic in my computer, it is the same car, but this version is the XT6 designed for yanks and their endless straights, it might have more HP than mine but it is set-up differently and the car simply cannot negotiate a corner! also 90% of the XT6s are FrontWD. Mine is a two tone blue metallic-white.

but there's one thing i saw in the car and i was dissapointed...................................... .........NO INTERCOOLER!!! so now i am trying to find solutions for it, the good thing is that there's plenty of space in front of the engine, right in front of the water fridge. the space is 90cm width 20cm depth and 30 cm height. is it going to affect the water fridge if i put the intercooler?>???

depends if the intercooler takes up all the space.

the water fridge will still need 'breathing space' and air to dissapate the heat
