What was up with your wing?

Agreed about the front plate aswell, also I actually prefered the original wing that it had on in Japland, even though I dont normally like that sort of kit it quite suited the car!

Other than that its an awsome machine! Well done.

looking good.

one criticism is that it doesnt look lowered enough :?

why did you have to replace the wing, did it turn up like my TRD with dings all over the place?

Cheers mate, I replaced the wing as it was damaged in transit :cry:

Awaiting insurance payout.

Must admit I liked the carbon wing at first but like the rev 3 wing more :D

cheers mate, I agree it doesn't look low enough. It had Apexi springs on itand they were taken off for the MOT as the 45 profile on the front had the tyres catching arches :roll: :evil:

They are being re-fitted today so it will be nice and low! 8)

Replaced wing as the original was damaged when the car was taken off the boat :evil: :evil:

Remember seeing that car for sale ages ago........ I was actually thinking about buying it. Looks nice mate but was wondering what was different about it now..... The wing is missing as you stated.

I actually think it looked quite nice with the F&F wing :oops:

How's it drive? Those defi gauges looked the b0ll0x on the video of it.... are they as good in the flesh?

You happy with it?

Looks top m8 nice one =D>

Cheers Jim, I like the wheels :D The tubes were brake ducts. They have been removed now and I've just had the car fully undersealed.

Edit: Must learn to read :)

Looking good though, is that an older or newer red on the wing you've fitted?

Rev 3 lights to finish it off maybe....
