Nice looking car mate. I love the fact it fits Iced Coffee, too ! I am forever looking for a spot to put mine! Who did all that work?

did it all my self mate taught myself how to spray paint and everything haha

 

[Wombles]

Looks neat as!
Dont like the engine cover colour though.. Doesnt suit it..

 

[Linzi]

yeah the plan with that it cos the brake calipers and all that are the same colour, that red is the secondary colour. want to get the instrument cluster and all that red as well, i like it against the colour of the car.

Looks mint mate , the stateo dash looks at home in the car , and little bit of blue sets it off

Very tastefully modded car mate, it's so so so clean.
SS Kit will look so awesome.
