    Have to agree with frankie on the grill, but the intercooler looks awesome!

    That looks sweet as! I can't wait to get one fitted on mine!

    I also like the look of those slicks in the background of pic number three! Do you use those on the 850? I bet that's great fun.

    I reckon the standard grill with a few painted touches is hard to beat......combined with a TC splitter
