Cheers! Wana move from the clean look of standard clones and make the manstone look a bit meaner. Not sure Anthracite would achieve that but also i could be wrong....________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

i nearly went with anthracite but everyone has done that...gloss black looks much better in my opinion.......also have to agree with eliotrw about tyres and wheels being clean.....if you polish the wheels and tyreshine the sidewalls they look mint |

Christ thats some list elliot! Lama, car looks badass! Standard height and 55 profile? Next up for me is my torsion bar, alloys refurb and at some point clutch and lightened flywheel maybe! I cant stop thinking about cams either, this is bad as my car is mostly a commuter car  ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!''

Is that a phase 1?I think it would look good with those wheels and the black phase 1 plastics but in that pic it would look so much better with silver wheels Imo. ________________________________________ Ryan |

It is a phase 1 mate Guess it's all what you're used to really. I was unure about black cyclones at first but I really like them I have a few other options too...
