Looks like it has a ginger beard!

reminds me of that rover 200 with the orange grill....

i think it looks a bit wierd man! maybe put the orange stripe all the way round the bottom of the car? i'm only a fan of more sublte modding though lol

reminds me of that rover 200 with the orange grill....

my bro`s just bought on of them rovers its a brm one , he only wants it for the engine for his lotus elise as its 160 bhp and his lotus in 130 bhp at the mo

i think the orange looks good , needs some more on it , like pin stripe on the grill, mirror bases n stuff

Looks well outta place IMO. Especially against blue. The interior touch is nice but I think you'll need to do more than just the stereo surround. I'm currently in the middle of spraying some interior bits orange as we speak.

lmao nice

some things arent ment to be and that splitter is deffo one of those things.

i had exact same car as my 1st car just not open air. and my insurace with quinn was £1700 third party fire and theft in my own name

ouch!

yea i will be doing some more, I'm thinking door handles, mirror bases and the rim of the steels, or i may buy some cheap 16v steels and put an orange rim on them, also abit more on the interior.

hmmm not a fan tbh.. doesnt work with that blue
