Needs lowering + swapping silver centre caps with gold ones. Looks nice & tidy though, what are his plans with it? And is your mate planning on joining the forums/eseries?

Looks pretty straight, but do one of the following.

1. Dump it and get rest of the EL XR kit.
2. Dump it and delete the rear spoiler.

That would look half decent if it were lowered and lost the rear spoiler and mudflaps. If that were to happen I would give it a 5.

7/10 (on the bases of 10 being highest)


It lost points because it needs to be lowered and it's auto ;)

I gave it a seven, it lost points for the spoiler, the ride height and the fact that those lovely, big wheels are showcasing the teeny tiny brakes. :P

Should have really given it an 8 though, it is very nice and in good clean condition.
