    Condition is very good, had a few blown globes in the dash, needed 2 rear tyres had a dodgy key.
    Must say it's the lowest car i've owned and i've owned some low cars, but i think i shall have to put some higher springs in it's a pain in the arse on driveways and speed humps

    150K's, Just exhaust, tint, wheels, and suspension.

    Guys really want opinions on wether the black International grille will look good, or if i should stay chrome.
    I think maybe the the chrome breaks up the colour well, but the 2 tone may be enough?
