All comments welcome :D

My god you've been busy,, car has come along way since you've had it.
I would stick a new badge or something to cover the holes in bumper where old badge was.
Other than that I can't fault it. Nice.

dain well mate,certainly coming on a bit,are you getting the extreme spoiler or ye happy wi that,its amazing what a few mods can do to a motor eh,well done

looking good zs grill and you never know:)

Ive got a pair of black/silver MG badges for the front and back, but dont want to go putting them on until i pop an MG grille on.

Extreme spoilers are just that in my eyes - a bit extreme. Current plan is to mod a Rover Coupe spoiler to fit, should go well with the long boot.

kev you have someone with the same views here:P

kevs got the low level spoiler on his 180 looks pretty smart and he hates the extreme spoiler

something like this do?
