Thanks a lot mate best car I have had and ever will have I can't Take all the credit for the mods as the boy I got it from had done the exhaust and the coilover and the wheels and map was looking all over Scotland for the right car and was planing to do all these mods to the car I was getting and the boy I got it from he took real good care of the car and it saved me spending all that money for the mods so good a good deal when I got it I would say
