simply stunning mate. I do like the GTA rear lights combines with A610 grill, sets the car off nice :D

I have to say Tony, it does look smart; car shape suits the colour, brings it out well. Seats look nice trimmed as well, uplifts the look. What inlet manifold have you got this time, the 610 version?

Hope you have some fun it. :)

Yes Martin A610 inlet manifold - GTA ones don't fit.
