All comments welcome, good and bad....let me know what you think and/or if you have any good ideas for it!!:nice:
 
looks well with spec to match, lose the esi decal on the back though! Get jap bootlid/plate on rear too.
 
Nice :naughty:

How does it compare to the 9 in terms of handling?

Its great at handling really holds the road well it feels just as good or better than the ek9 was to be honest!:D

Thanks lads! Yea im deffo gonna get rid of that decal alright! would i hav to get the whole new bootlid yea??
 
The SiR bootlid is different alright. Might aswel carbon the whole car while your at it with the c/f spoon mirrors in the from of spoiler, lip and bootlid. Would look well.

Id also remove those round fogs in the front bumper too. The amber oem ones are plenty.

Ah yea ill think about carbon im a poor student though so its hard to get money to do it!
yea i want to do that alright the ones in the middle were in it when the previous owner got it and then he put the oem ones in! the oem look miles better i think
 
I think it looks mint bro :D Always wondered how these where to drive compared to nine's. What's your plans with it? :)
 
I also have a soft spot for egs!

Looks savage man! Should get a crow's bumper would look the business!

Rare part though!
 
very nice car mate allways like then its just the interior the turns me down on them
 
Looks good! So, if you don't want to answer no worries, how much did you end up making off of your 9 after buying this?
 
Thanks lads!! Eh im not sure what my plans are yet i would like to do something with the interior as it is the only bad part but not sure what to do yet any ideas??
Just tryin to keep it clean as i can at the minute!

@timek4: yea yhose bumpers do look class, are they that hard to get??

@Vandal21: I didn make much to be honest but i dont mind atal, had the ek9 for over 2 years so it was time for a change! And it was a PIG on juice compared to this and im still in college so this suits better!!
 
very nice car,but to me it just doesnt come anywhere near an ek9
 
a few choice mods, and remove a couple of things and your there!
 
Thanks lads and yes it is pretty clean and rot free so im happy out!!
