having a longer look, i think thats a 360 gl (black b pillar but no fogs), maybe a gls or something - its got colourcoded door mirror mounts and sprayed side repeaters.. both look pretty good imo

That does look good :D

Although I'm not sure its actually real! That could've easily have been edited in Photoshop in seconds and posted on the internet - it is the only picture I've seen of a 360 with clear indicators, so this could well be the case :(

it could have been - some people here did that a while ago, but we may as well presume its real :)

That's a Photoshop Job... A good one, but the front wheel looks wrong in the arch if you open it fullsize, and the indicators are definitely faked. They've just been lightened up, not 'see-thru' enough for real translucent glass, and also the very front of the indicator is slightly higher than the headlights. If it's been put in badly, then maybe but otherwise it couldn't be.

That pic is an old photoshop...sorry guys. However, the real thing might be appearing before too long....stage one of my devious plan has already taken place... :twisted:

17s can be fitted and made retain the stock wheel size - easy! You can probably get 18s on if you're careful, or 19s if you're prepared to chop the arches. However, above 17s (with the right tyres) the speedo will mis-read.
