Love your car mate. But if it was mine I'd stick a SRI bumper on the front as the GSI one spoils the lines. But its in great condition looks amzing from the back with the wheels on it.

Very very nice - looks immaculate.

I think that I'd have removed the bra aswell, it just spoils the bonnet.

I can't see anything else that I don't like... pure perfection ! :thumb
