    Bonnet is rancid, completely wrecks the look of the car. Dont like the tail lights either.
    Other than that looks good

    got to agree with the guys here. don't like the bonnet. to RICE. don't mind the clear tail lights but. they suit the white cars only. got a set on mine too.

    got any pics of the cooler?

IMO i recon the bonnet looks ***n cooked as man, good effort there, rims = tough, a sunroof il have one please lol lvl 3 dash on a vp is always neat as + a few goodies inside and then you got the power its putting out, like ffs give this guy some wings lol. nice car, take care of her.

    The bonnet is certainly different but it does look better in person :)

    Much better with the blower in it too :D

    Cheers

    sorry but i dont wanna be neg about your car just asking, 230rwkw on 10.5psi isnt that abit on the low end? i was thinking atleast 250-260rwkw, but yeah.

    Car looks good i'm with the guys about the bonnet though, i like the exhaust setup looks tuff,
    and the engine bay looks pretty neat and clean good job mate.

    Do you have any clips of the exhaust would like to hear it.

    thanks for the feedback either positive or negative .. looks like ive over done it on the bonnet then. but may i say the cosworth vents keep the raptor blower cool in one perspective.
