Well done on the feature lad!

I think you should loose the spoiler is favour of a roof spoiler and also loose the gold graphics as they look kinda tacky imo :o

Edit....Love how tidy the inside of this car is!!

I'd keep that spoiler if I was you , looks well .
Where as for the graphics I don't know just something different , don't know why but they just don't seem to suit your car.
But if you like them , keep the, after all its your car !!

Is the prodrift at the back a sticker or is it cut into the car ??
Looks very well there.
The 180sx looks weird on the centre panel for some reason though :confused:
Also what kind of front lights are they ??
They dont look standard .

The breather pipe over the manifold wrap it up it will burn very quick, car looks well its yourself you should be asking about changing anything as its yours and you'll be the only one driving it!!

do nothing with the car until the end of the year she is in mint condition as far as i can see then send her off some where like smith sign writing and tell him you have x amount of money to spend on the car and go to town on the graphics. If i had a 180 i would put a kit on it like the rocket bunny car and squat her right down on the floor.

Fair play, it's looking a lot better than when i had it, hard to believe it's the same car!:eek: Some amount of work gone into this and in all the right places:D

IIRC, you could maybe go a bit lower on those super streets by taking out a couple of locking collars but if it's at the cost of handling you might be better off leaving it alone.

One thing you should definitely do is get on to Tadhg about flocking the dash and centre console, he got my s14 done and it's a class job.

Looks like you're driving it the way it should be anyway!:cool:

oh and another vote here for despoilered look.
