I've been following a lot of your build on instagram! Must admit some of the ideas are from yours :P hope you don't mind haha, Mine is no where near as clean and detailed as yours though! really want to see yours in person when its done

[Earl]

I could tell=) I don't mind at all. I am actually flattered. Fly out to the US for H20 this year if my car gets done=)

Also, my build on here is probably more detailed than any of my other builds since I lay almost everything out as a DIY for people to do what i did=)

that would be awesome, Might have to look in to that, I might have a proper read though your one on here today, I have a boring office job so it might pass the day!
Really love your splitter on the front but looked for like 2 weeks solid and couldn't find one The Uk is rubbish for parts!

[Earl]

Parts are terrible over here too. That is why I have my friend Kitty import me goodies from Germany=D

[minimike]

Not much to update still just being rubbed down again to find any final dents.
I'm hoping it's going to be finished this week or next week at the latest.








Also here's the tester colour!

Still no updates :/ although whilst bored at work I discovered I can get 16x9 borbet A wheels with et15 which I think would sit pretty nice, not sure if mine would suit them though?


Anyone good with Photoshop? Haha
