Any Thoughts about fitting a GT wing that usually are sitting on GL editions?

Or maybe i just should keep the back lid stock without any wing. Keep it clean. :D

If it were me, I'd keep it stock. The wings look good, but the VIP is (trying to be) more of a luxury car rather than a sporty car ...

Cheers

It'd be a shame to ditch the original wheels! have you looked at getting them banded at all? that will get the "stance" / look your after. When I bought my first 340, that was a minter original car.. but as lovely as it was that it was original, it was far from an engaging drive, very numb and wallowy, its definitely a hard decision to modify a nice original car. It's worth doing everything properly aswell. I can vouch for dai's parts, I've had his springs and currently got his springs, bushes and adjustable dampers on my f7p, it's good quality and the bushes, especially, tighten up the car a treat. They got rid of the lifeless steering on mine
