Got some Borbet ts in matt black once they have been finished maybe to go on....

Also thinking of lowering it 60-40 but looking around for a decent kit and good ride as i use it as a daily.

haven't really done much eles to it apart from ordering a new radiator fan and the motor is on its way out :( but apart from that she running like a dream :D

Right I've found a bonnet bra in my shed what was off my mk2 golf just wondering what people think ?? iam not sure :/

IMG-20120510-00272.jpg

Also have my new fan :) which will i will be fitting at the weekend.

in my opinion your car isnt low and wide enough to pull off a bonnet bra, thats the only time i think they look good

I reckon bonnet bras work with different colours of car. White, is just a little too much of a contrast in this case....

But it'll keep your bonnet free from stonechips! :)

Well know g40 this, used to be owned by guy from g40 club i remember this from 10 years ago, was for sale on ebay a while back and again in 2010.

Nice clean looking car there mate...not liking the bonnet bra though but if you like it keep it :-D .

Bra's are gay.

They aren't fashion accessories, they are there to do a job.

Why people put them on for looks is beyond me :S they look daft.

ull be more pissed off when you leave it on and the colour changes underneath :lol:

However, this car is awesomely smart, i like :)

Even if the bra looks gay in some peoples opinoon, even i am not keen, i still wouldnt fancy driving a clean G40 as a daily without some kind of protection from the elements..... and gritters :p
