Its just folded down to give an idea and to see what others think of it !

Comments range from , yes stunning keep it - to no get it to ***** lol so kinda stuck

i wouldnt worry what everyone else thinks, its your car!!! but i think if you went full out and got it properly stripped with custom carpet and that it would look good. In my oppinion its not something you only do half of though.

I like it now, when i first saw the pics the other day i wasnt keen but in your updated pics it looks ace, best way to describe it would be 'stealthy'!!

i have a 3-door black and would love you to slam it with your wheels, good work mate

Yeah, its from Belguim. 6n and 6n2 are the same. I paid 150 delivered for it. 2 weeks for delivery!

The quality is "ok" looks wise - Alu. The fitting was a bit ockward - it was as if the X didnt fit it, had to use a grinder - nothing difficult just changing a few wee bits.

Got to said bud, your car looks mint on the outside & the cage looks good
seeing in on the inside of the car aswell as when you see it through the window.

I would strip the inside & fit some nice fixed bucket seats. Then find a nice big lump to stick under the bonnet to complete the sleathy road/racer look.

Nice to see something different, Good job
