hmmmm... the carbon fibre vented bonnets would look pretty mean if you were going for a black one anyway.

Tinted windows? She looks smart on the outside already, I'd probably focus on the interior and then performance mods.

Even though i love CF and black bonnets... i reckon urs looks good without it...

as others have said... go interior work...

got extractors/exhaust??? if not then see RPW.. (group buy still running)

All our entrants for AS will be doing dyno runs... so if u want to do one you wont be alone.. :wink:

Why arent you doing one sammi??? Represent the GR's girl!! I'll be running my new GR engine... So if anyone gives sh*t to GR's you can say you had a blockage and that mine was running normal or something... lol


and yeh... lowering the car is porn...

Also.. after talking to stuart on MSN, he is thinking about going airbags...

i advised against it purely because i wont do it.. lol... but then again it depends on what you like...

I need coils for traction... but if your going for looks and adjustable height on the fly.... bags seem to be great...

just after some other opinions for him... cause im fairly well biased... lol...

Stuart, if you dont have already, see max in regards to seat covers... they are worth every cent...

Ok, if you want my honest opinion ... A black bonnet that isn't Carbon Fibre will make you look like a bit of a tosser ... besides, your car looks awesome the way it is!

Seriously though, if you want to make it look better, I agree with everyone else, mod the interior... for me, its where I spend most of my time when I'm not sleeping or at work, so I want it to look & feel as nice as poss. So I've just started pouring the $$$ ino it...

Recommend the Angel Eyes headlight mod ;) Check the Group Buy section to put your name down & see the pics ;)

don't get me wrong i was no way committed to a black bonnet. just seeing what other thought about it.

same with the air bags, it will be coil overs for sometime first (as i already own them) and maybe air bags in the future. plus its like 1 extra AS point :P

pfft.... we're in a totally different category... we're up against poosars and other FWDs...

At the GC, the highest KW in our category was like 192.... think it was a turbo poosar...

So theres not as much competition as you may think.

and besides... its fun... dooo itttt... lol
