worth bearing in mind, the "Extreme" spoiler looks ace, but it costs you 3mpg, for the 40 kg downforce at 70mph, so at 23-28MPG, I am happy to take the extra 3 MPG.

When Rover were working on the "official" performance figures, they ran a car without a rear wing, and without wipers and Mirrors, they thought the Drag was worth 5 mph.
Personally, as an old f@rt. I don't think that anything over about 110MPH is relevant to me, as the likely hood of me reaching 139 or 144mph, is less than 1%.
I think that by summer, the car will look different again. Currently, it seems to suit the
Music that comes belting out of it........ Artic monkeys, Kooks, Futons, whitesnake, nickleback etc etc.

Interestingly, no-one commented on the silver grill mesh in the MK2 grill, I think it looks better than the factory black (only painted top mesh, below bumper mesh still black). I tried it red, bot it looked like my car had a nose bleed.

i quite like the wee lip spoiler, reckon the skull would be better if it actually was on a badge octagon shaped, just looks a bit too 'stuck' on the now. lovely and clean though

Wicked mate. First truly controversial car of the site. In some ways I think hmmmm where you going with that? But most of me says. Cool. Really quite street/Rat look. Black and white chequered roof on it perhaps.
