    Respray looks the goods mate, not really keen on the rear end though. Obviously the lights but I reckon maybe chuck on a twice twin chrome tip.

    Hey, merged your threads together since the clubby probably isn't going to have maybe updates.

    That is some MAJOR damage... I mean... the rocker cover was torn off... very lucky.

    Berlina looks good, lets hope you have some better luck with that!

    Cheers

    That's a great looking car, i usually shudder over the thought of those silver linings around the doors, but it looks great on your car! The mirrors are interesting but compliment it well.

    Car looks great man .... very clean and classy imo. Be nice to drive around with that 355 stroker too.
    My VR is Masai red... and i got to say i am real impressed with the respray in that colour .... i wondered what a fresh coat of paint in this colour would look like .... i'm a fan of the colour and the car ...

    nice looking ride mate. Not a fan of the rear lights, Each to their own. I would get rid of the pod filter and run a good cai for the strong 355..
    Good work
