[sam]

cheers chap I honestly cant wait to start turning it into a van wheels might have to go though to make way for some 8's and 8.5's banded steels

[c.gerrard]

Those wheels are absolute porn, may have to take them off your hands if you do that

Such an epic looking car!

[Arron]

You know how much I love this car. And them wheels are porn

[sam]

Well I have someone who has first dibs on these already, but ill keep you in mind dude

Well its going to winter mode today so the wheels are coming off and steels are going on

[Piggy]

need to mask those lights though they do look better

[sam]

Dunno if I want to do masks again I have a set sat in my room but I honestly want a new bonnet badge and leave it chrome and so far all the astors on here have masks :/ might leave mine as they are tbh. But who knows might chamge my mind un 5 minute's

[puglove]

IMO the lights look better un masked in this , cleaner,fresher, more euro.

[sam]

Just want a standered badge now, wanna swap the one on you estate for mine?

[puglove]

Iv got an OE badge somewhere you can have mate. I like my silver on the estate

[sam]

Ahhh nice one chap
