Love it smile

Superb choice using Guard's Red for the highlights biggrin


That cage looks great - does it bolt in? How much would it be fitted?

Thanks chaps. Cage is bolt in but you still need to weld in the mounts. I got it on a deal and got a favour on fitting so couldn't really say how much it would be normally.

was it much work to retrofit the GT front splitter?

The red painted parts really dont do it for me, it looks like the bits were nicked off another car and bolted onto yours.

I'm sure it goes ok though.

I winced at the second photo, it looks like you have some crappy spoiler fitted. Then I realised its just a roof in the background hehe

That must be an awesome track day ride cool

Excellent job, love it....I dont like the red bits though, looks like they are waiting to be sprayed after the orginals were damaged. (sorry) wink
