Went for a drive and on the way home i had my camera and the national trust car park was empty so i thought i'd get some decent snaps with the roll cage and vts wheels.
Considering i'm crap at taking photo's i thought they came out very well!
Opinions welcome!

Have thought about removing it a few times but then i like it! It's only 2 bolts so it's not like i can't change it Plus my girlfriend is getting my windows lightly smoke tinted for my b'day so i think it will look better with tints.

So do i stavs, but i should be getting some cyclones for it soon as i don't want to go back to the 16's. It feels so much better on 15's, alot more planted, no where near as skittish and alot easier to control let off oversteer.

Cheers Mark. I'm so crap at taking photo's none of them do the car justice, finally these ones have come out alright!
I'm goona keep it for a few years now until my insurance comes down then look at getting an evo 6. Thats my goal anyway.
Untill then i plan on doing a few more bits to this, not go mad but little bits here and there!

I'm thinking of painting the mounting points of the cage black as it looks sooooo obvious it's a show cage

Just trailing through pistonheads and now fucked off!
This is basically what i had in mind for mine! Smoked lights, tints, anthracite cyclones, but i think it looks shit!

I have seen nimrods in smaller sizes but then they may not look as good.
I cannot stress wot a difference it has made! It handled well before but now you can throw it in, as soon as it starts to underteer let off the back end will come out in a controlled fashion and then boot it and it will straighten up perfectly, i have never fealt like i've had so much control oer a car! It's awesome.
Thanks for the good comments, keep em coming or any suggestions welcome.
