Gawd!

That is ugly.

Just a roof chop though, not a full sprint.

The owner's having a nightmare trying to find the correct front lamps for it (early Metro being the closest match to the originals)

to celebrate not breaking down, running out of petrol or getting squashed by a tree this week, i have treated my car to some 'tc' esque speed stripes.

they couldnt follow the exact line of the ones on the tc due to the height and the door handle, so the guy who did them suggested putting them lower down - which works well as they do have the same look of stopping at the a panel

pointy speed stripes - the strong look for 2011 8-)

i like them

nice.

Not everyone appreciates the effect achieved by applying underseal under Gp5 arches whilst traveling at speed, but more fool them.
