I loved my Rover 620ti because it was a stealth grandad car that surprised the shite out of the hot hatch brigade. Stealth being the fun part.

Nice - like the engine bay detailing. I quite like the wheels too!

Is it me or does the front end look quite R32-ish!?

[LeoZwalf]

Looks like a right shed to me

[calibrax]

you're entitled to your opinion, of course Leo... the way I look at it, at least it isn't a 420 shed

Golf R32 or Skyline R32??

Either way, yes it is just you that thinks that

That is some nice detailing though. Is that IC stock??

A nice spangly FMIC would look sweet tucked in behind your bumper

Oh, and lose the mesh stuff. It just cheapens the whole look IMO.

The IC is standard. I have plans for a bigger IC soon though

The mesh actually looks good, it's not all that clear from those pics... but I have been thinking of getting some black mesh instead, to match the wheels.

I used to have one of these. Grey 'R' reg. It was chipped/lowered and shifted along quite well with comfort and space.

I'm supprised to hear yours is only running 208bhp with those mods though, they're 197 standard?

when new.....
cars always lose a few horses, and that ones done 100,000 miles....

my old FTO, had 200bhp new, after de-catting, new exhaust, induction kit, etc etc it only made 186.
