Function over form...........its the best way! Would still be cool if it didn't even have a front bumper!

not a fan of R5s but they get respect.

Nay worries pal, it looks like a proper road warrior and with 11.9 on the quarter it will scare the shit out of most supercars - My TVR included (and its probably more reliable )

The intercooler is so big it pulls the front bumper out at the bottom hence the sides hang down. Nothing can be done unless I start chopping at the front bumper but i dont really wana be doing that.

Yeh hopefully it will suprise a few people at the lights and also on the long straights. I was talking to my pal last night and rob who owned it before had the car wheel spinning at 100mph (when he had NOS fitted to the car aswell) hehe.

Every modification will be told to the insurance company, I aint that stupid. The car is also orange on the logbook just in case anyone is wondering.

Stu I will give you a shout when I get it mate and maybe meet up and have a chat?? See your in manchester, im just down the road near preston.

My point is that the bumper has been chopped to fuck as it is, so why couldn't it of been done a bit more to get the bumper to fit straight? As it is it looks like a half arsed effort.

Also I hope you have deep pockets, a few years ago my brother had a Prima Racing built 1.7 GTT and it cost him a fortune to maintain and repair - a fucking money pit.

My pocket is quite deep mate, but as I have posted above, any rebuilds will be done by my mate and me. All parts I can get cheapish through a friend. As for the front bumper, I will have a look and see if it can be moved but tbh its not the first thing on my list

Im not to bothered about the cost side of it mate, im buying it to enjoy the speed and also to have a smart project to look after and spend my time and money on.

Kathryn - Cheers for the advise lol

My sister had one few years back. She had a few boost mods and nothing to back them up and eventually blew the thing up. Used to scare the shit out of me though
