Looks pretty mean, dude.

I wish my glovebox was supercharged. :(

i think its just been really well looked after, as in waxed/polished and kept under cover from the sun. small parts have been re-sprayed like the wing where the ariel was but thats about it really. the pics look alot cleaner than it is as theres alot of stone chips :(

yeah not too sure about the supercharged sign on the glove box. you can have it for your box if you like?!? :p

cheers for the posi comments!

Sounds like good plans buddy... ported charges always good but I would get a 65mm charger pulley and chip first if you are happy the current charger is ok... that'l give you more bang for buck...

yeah i've got one for playin... experiment and have fun and one for heritage... keep it nice and oem..
