Luckily it's 'only' xr3i and not genuine RS Turbo.

I just did a little bit of sick in my mouth :(

It still amazes me what people consider to make a car look good, why put on these shonky ill fitting bodykits when 9/10 if not more they never improve on the factory shape. Then there is the wheels, bluergh.

I was having a nose for MX-5's the other day and stummbled accross this. Sure it's cheap but what would it take to get it back to stock? I suppose if i had somewhere to store it you could save it, sell off the sh*tty wheels and bodykit and return it to stock give it a quick spray over in a single colour and voila.

Whats the matter with the car i'm driving can't you tell that it's out of style?

Thats really rather distastefull. But I suppose thats the point.

I wouldnt mind rocking that in like, Olive Drab, or satin black.
But then theres the interior. sm84

Cheap though, if the rest of its honest.

What the flying c*ck is he trying to say? Though "on off body kit" does give me hope there is just a flick switch and it'll all go away

I believe it comes to that, so many out there just fail utilizing even that 1% of their brain to straight logical thinking, they just fly from emotion to other like being drunk or something like that :(

Some decent enough parts by the looks of it. Break and weigh FTW.
