It's dying for some Deep dish :). Personally I'd remove the sunstrip though. Sunstrips belong on cars that go in Fast Car Magazine :|

What are your other plans? Needs clear indicators all round I reckon :P

Welcome to the site by the way. There seems to be an influx of UK people on here recently :D Didn't really seem many when I joined last week, and now theres quite a few!

hello mate thanks for the comments and yer a few ppl sed about the sunstrip am in 2 mind and i am wanting 2 get the car repainted the same colour as its very tacky at the min a set of coilovers 16v bumpers smoothed am not sure on what wheels 2 go for though and yer i am on the hunt for clear indicators they sel copys on ebay but most of the saloons come standard with them so all get some from the local scrap yard i think and i think i might hav somethink 2 do with pvw thats were i noticed the site and i love the us spec would love 2 go 2 1 show over there someday the uk seen once you ahv been 2 one you hav been 2 them all all the same cars go
