yeah im trying to look for some carbon quad lights or just the carbon covers if not, funky styling do some nice one's,
no its not a custom colour, i wanted a nice classy sort of yellow not a really bright colour and found this, wasn't sure i'd made the right decision when i collected it but when i got it home and started to but the window's and trim on it started to grow on me, \:D/

As a fellow veilside man must say really like what you have done. Looks great. Loving the carbon fiber parts as well. Look great against the yellow. Everytime someone sees my car in the flesh they love it, so dont know why there are so many non-likers on here. Each to there own i guess.

it got broken, \:D/ Xxxx said that his costomers are making the switch to the mrk3 mr2 so he broke the car up to fund tuning/testing on his mrk3, he had some sweet ideas but the next time i went up he'd had an incident with his mrk3 and a foriegn lorry, :(

i cant believe he broke the car jsut to make an extra buck. car's like that are impossible to find and to actually get it in the UK makes it a very very special car/ Im just very sentimental about any car being broken but its even worse when its something as rare as that. Gutted that it doesnt exist anymore. was looking forward to the beast rering its head in the future.

Oh well, Im sure youre laughing all the way to the drag strip! :wink:

no i admit its not good to strip these sort of cars, much better in there full glory but its happening all the time nowadays, the respect of the original modifiers hard work/graft and money decreases over the owners after :(
