Never posted pics of my car before so heres a quick pic from the magazine feature i was i in.

Not to everyones taste but who cares. Stickers removed for the new season , new stsuff coming soon.

and before any smart ar5 points out they are Areospeed alloys not Volks as I didn't have any small enough for the alloys!

Nice one mate, are they 19's? Are you on airbag suspension, as if they're 19s there is still a fair bit of room under them arches

I like that. Not sure on the RSGT alloys tho, maybe some Rotas would suite it better?

Mods are a full decatt for the time being ;-)

Not sure about going to NBO, abit of a wasted journey from Glasgow to be honest.

If I get my finger out and get the graphics redone then I mite come down.
