I've been through hell and back with this car all due to being screwed over by Driving sports.
When I first bought it it looked like this:
KB san "fixing up my car"
Aero arrives
Then when she shipped out:
Getting work done to be uk legal in newcastle
And how she looked before the crail drift day and at knockhill
Me being rubbish at drifting
After drift day
Repair work begins:
Back on the car
It was still very flexible at this point so I had another go and have about twice as many cable ties on it now.
If you feel like a long read click on my sig and it'll take you to my blog.
Currently I'm sorting shipping for a new bumper and am planning on upgrading my brakes before getting any more power mods.
Cheers folks
