Well few small additions to the gte this month
- 40mm springs added with Bilstien uprated shocks and polybushed
- New Mudflaps purchased and fitted; with the help from Dan-sport 
- The addition of the stickers
- Goodridge Brake hoses
Owned it now for the last 3months, and can genuinly say that im loving it, best car ive owned by far... and its such a blast to drive. Mileage ticked over to 60k the other day. bad times 
Been fully cleaned up today as its being Sorn and garaged for next 6months. So thought ild take some pictures as aint really had the chance with this car yet.
After supernatural wax added : Looks no different in pictures though

and yeah.. shame its not a 16v. But when the car had only done 55k and in pristine condition was too hard to turn down. + Probably would of never of found a 16v in similar condition
Maybe one day soon engine will be upgraded though

a touch lower (60mm?) and a different wheel choice maybe a little bigger and i think it would look awsome..

60mm on speedlines is a nice look imo..
personally i think it would go down very well, but depends whether you want to change the look of it bud..
