    Hey seen no1 has wrote anything here so i thought i might drop a line. I dont think the red in the engine bay suits it or black patches in the interior but thats just me.
    Over all not a bad vn though.

    might be mistaken mate, but i think the minimum is 30 posts to be able to post in there.

    anyways, i really like the red in the engine bay apart from on the 3800 bit

    good work mate, keep it up in the future
