white bumpers are staying for the mo as i cant afford to get my car sprayed atm. there is loads of crappy paint that the skirts hide quite well. i might remove the white bumpers, fit my spare std arches and go for the pre front and rear

depends what milage is on the engine, we wont want to give it to much stick if its fresh.... some people map them fully straight away (AK's was done this way) some like them run in for 1000 miles, we like to run the engine in for 750-1000 miles to loosen up etc etc!
lol, pics of the "pimp bus" on the internet! most excellent!

pmsl, you should see what iv seen that bmw tow....
f150 lightenings are no problem for it!
also may have seen it tow a smashed focus on that trailer with maybe a fiesta st on a rope behind the trailer..... but hten again that would be illegal so doubt it would happen!
over 400lb of torque from it! absolute beast of a car lol
