I've removed your other post of the same. Please don't spam the forums with the same crud [-(

i stay on a farm now so its not practical for me looking for defender or mitsu warrior


...so check for :flossy: s**t on the carpets, bits of straw in the boot, collie dog hairs in the passenger seat and clumps of earth and grass stuck up in the wheel arches.

:tumbleweed: sorry, couldn't resist that. I guess a 4x4 is more practical on a farm.

I'm pretty sure I've seen one of these in the flesh very briefly. Personally I think it's one of the better full kits out there if it's done right. Needs better wheels, interior colour looks gawdy to me and I think it'd look better without the huuuuge rear spoiler.

It still looks better in my eyes or no worse anyway than a replica kit with certain yellow badges slapped onto it. Never heard it compared to a Noble yet though. He might get on better if he just said it was the NV Lemans Kit though.

lol, I saw this before and emailed him to see what mods it has for 400bhp and if he had any engine pics.

Would be funny if he replies with Air Filter, Exhaust and dump valve :mrgreen:

Me too! , says he doesn't know what the mods are but said he will add a couple of pics of the engine bay, it's jumped up to £7.5k in a matter of hours, weird that people are willing to bid with no idea about the engine mods :? , could be as standard as they come #-o

these kits are extremely rare only a couple on the road , i have spoke to the guy with the other one and he said only 3 of these kits were fitted and only 2 remain
What a load of crap! Theres quite a few knocking around. Yeah they are rareish but theres a reason for that, overpriced kit to buy new and the ugliest looking rear imaginable.

i dont mind the kit if its done the right way. its meant to be a le nmans car so in my oppinion should be alot more track spec than posing with the t bar off and some swanky tan leather lol. if anyone dose get sent pics of the engine bay please post them on here i want to laugh.

if you had 400bhp you wouldnt just list a momo steering wheel and some wheels as your mods

the car has been on a rolling road at a friends garage and was putting out 400bhp thats with the turbo turned down


its going to be so funny if it is just a stock engine with a "Turned down" CT20 turbo :lol:




But, Gonna feel like a complete dick after laughing about his add if he posts some pics up later and it has a huge turbo, boot mounted IC etc etc lol

tbh i've seen the build quality of a noble and tbh i would rather have a mr2 anyday

and i know what your thinking what does he know blaa blaaa

My mate had one as his show off car. The problem is he had to give it back as the air con failed all the time, the windows never opened and when it was wet it sometimes wouldn't start. So he took his money somewhere else

But i have to say when it did go it went it went

Modifying a 1 liter is like giving my granny a E. It’s just wrong!!

...see I'd have a Noble M600 any day, but I'd have the MR2 parked up for when the Noble went into the garage. I'd hazard a guess as to which spent more time with the bonnet up. Same as for TVR's and oddly enough I heard Lotus's aren't that reliable either.
