Looks really good Ron, I am thinking of going spolierless with mine aswell.

I do prefer your ST2's more though, did you consider getting them sprayed silver instead of buying new one's?

I did think about it Jim, but I think they look a little dated now, and it cheaper to buy new!!

Would the engine break if you put on a normal bonet without the scoop though?

So what you're sayin is that i HAVE to get a front mount, not that i need an excuse like that, don't really want to though.... don't need to, no-one knows what it is now!!! mind you, a tek 3 would work wonders with a front mount...............

I wouldn't do that personally, I bought a scoob because I found it aesthetically pleasing as well as the power excitment. Still, it's always a funny to see cars that look fast get plastered by cars that are fast but don't look it

Nice one Ron

Very individual looking car RON.

Those wheels look sweet!

Although having seen the leather seats up close and personal, those photos just dont do them justice!!

I'll speak to you later on mate

Ron, you inspired me to change the look of my car, as I can't yet afford to buy a new one
I'm waiting for a m8 to make me up a very thin carbon lip spoiler, only 2" high by maybe 3" deep. I'll give you a shout when it's done, see if your interested in getting one too. Once he's done 1, he'll have the mould to do as many as he wants. Proper carbon by the way, not fibreglass with carbon over the top

My new look:

Chris,

yours looks good mate, i'm glad i'm good at inspiring someone, i'm useless at everything else it would seem....

Won't be changing the look again for a long while, i've spent far too much seeing as i'm not earning properly!!

Ron.

edited to ad..... spoiler and st2's are now sold!!
