Looks good dude.

Perfect slate to work some magic on. Do the manual conversion as one of the first mods, you'll thank yourself for it (i know i do every day)

i might be on my L's but its not my first car;) yeah i realy want the manual conversion, i mean i REALY want it, i love manuals. But there's finding all the bits, putting it all together, finding the time and money to do it and all. i also got told the flywheel on the S1 VN auto's were 6 bolt and the manuals 8 bolt, what i got told offcourse. nice eye's spotting the badge's, the back got resprayed not long ago must off taken em off and put them back on wrong. Speaking of bages got the front one on it now, and the ruber mounts under the grill, wich all wernt there before. (pic from phone)
