Itll be a car lengthe behind upto top of 4th ish and he will pull away slightly. Thats wot happend when i was behind him, not to sure from the side
Its more like a 10th of the price lol :cool:
Was going to make my own at first but for the price coops was selling them for i thought id just buy one off him, save me messing round and then i can sell it on when i get a new engine
f0xy told me about it and i said yes straight away, picked it up net day :rasp:
Might have to get my self some cans of paint Black,gunmetal grey and maybe another colour to see wot looks the best, Then get them powdercoated
iirc you have got coilovers so you will be better through the corners as im on spax dampers and springs that came on the car atm 172...
