Think you will need to import one from the US as there are no others of that colur combination in the UK that I know of. Only one other member has imported one that colour.

Why do you want to raise the front?!?

Front needs to be raised slightly due to a access lane owned by The National Trust which is bumpy and I am not allowed to repair it.

Silver will be very hard to find in the UK, I've only ever seen one in about 8 years, maybe dropping into Europe may be an option if your set on that colour combo

You're probably better off reducing the lip underneath the front spoiler to gain height rather than jacking the front suspension up which will affect handling. There's a good 2" of fibreglass that could be ground off?

thanks for the advice.I have thought about grinding the lip off but I think the chassis rail might become exposed and could get damaged

Sorry for the delay but my line was down.

Check out Roe Racing they do a really nice low car protector.

Rubber strips that will protect the underside and act as skids

Good isn't it no rolling road and just by listening the seller rekons its 520 hp.

Bought the title from a damaged car auction, with just minor paint damage.

The guys either on something or selling a well wacked Viper.

I,d be very careful about buying a car from ebay,a few of the yanks VCA,s have been stitched up with naff cars.As the saying goes,"You get what you pay for",if anything at all as money orders have been sent for temptingly cheap cars that don,t exist!Please read the threads on the VCA site about this before parting with any money!

I dont think I could spend such big money without seeing any car for myself or having someone I could trust take a look at it, a quick flight would be needed

but I'd be tempted to buy blind with these prices posted by JonB on the VCA forum

$66.5k for a NEW unregistered 2002 Graphite/Silver, 120 miles

$65.5K buys a 2001 RED ACR, 330 miles
