I can appreciate all the work put into it, but I think it looks disgusting...Stupidly large wheels, flowers hanging from the mirror (with the typical "wheelwes" crappage) and a porsche badge on a rover....

Not my cup of tea at all, but well done nevertheless.

Looks great, well done. Reminds me a little of the souped up special edition 200.

Not really to my taste cosmetically but mechanically i love it bet its a rite hoot to drive and i admire and appreciate the work gone into it!

Even tho its not to my taste i would never come into somebody's thread and say that their pride and joy looks disgusting, i dont see why peoeple feel the need to leave comments like that when the OP is clealry a petrol head and has clearly spend alot of time and money on their car, i thought this was a place for petrol heads after all? not a place to rip the piss out of cars that are not to your taste? of course eveybody is entitled to their opinons but imo ceartain opinons are best kept to your self what are you going to gain from taking the piss out of somebody elses pride and joy? your not going to gain anything from it the only thing your going to do is potentially make the owner of the car feel worse ( in many caes the owners dont care weather other people like it or not anway) but thats not the point i mean seriously why bother?

Impressive engine spec! Will make a note of the colours, incase I get blow away by a MG ZR and wonder why biggrin

Might be worth changing the turbo for a GT28RS if you find the GT30 a bit too much, as the 28 will still make 350bhp but with earlier and faster spool.

I'm thinking that even with the bright orange details, that is a bit of a sleeper. I mean, let's face it, no-one is going to expect an MGZS to shift like this thing can!

I was thinking exactly the same.

The wheels are a little bright for my subdued tastes but the design certainly suits the car.

Nice effort there!

I've got to admit, the wheels are a bit much for me too, but other than that I think it's great!

OP, nice work, again not a fan of the interior, but i do like the wheels, i've always like orange/blue as a combo.

That must be a hoot, especially with the roads you have access to in that area.

Next time i'm in Pannal visiting the family i might try to blag a lift/scare if thats ok. biggrin

You read my mind, haha, thats whays going on when the engines put back in smile

As Tbf its a night mare to drive as is, as soon as the boost kicks in you just have to tense every muscle in your body to keep it straight, lots of fun on motorways especially against a Nissan GTR god his face was a picture same with a GT3 lol..

But you always get a young lad in a 1.1 corsa you have to pretend his going to win and your trying in something like 2nd then you sit up look at him while changing to 3rd and wave haha

I like it, this is a nice car to own at 22.. (*trying to forget about the 23 year old Ph'er with a mint Diablo!)

As others have mentioned, I'd lose the Porsche badge and a few other bits, but otherwise thumbup
