I enjoyed getting it into the carpark at work this morning as the entrance resembles warrens drive but maybe steeper

And despite what people say i think it has improved the handling. Seems more predictable and the turn in is better.


Im off work tomoro so if the wheather is good it will get a wash and il add some pics to my progress thread
