    A good base you have there Frankie, I'm sure if you say your aim is for it to be one of the best 850's in the country I'm sure it will be.

    The only thing I don't care for is the Northern Ireland plate.....and your names not Lez

    I was able to give Jim a run for his money with my old setup, I think My car would be more than a match for it now.

    Car's looking good already Frankie, I hope you can make it look like that picture you posted up last week.

    good mate, it would be great to see you get some reward for your efforts, i bought some black paint for the bumper tops and side strips although i'm a bit nervous about painting them now, i may just get dark grey bumper dye
