Sure he have to have quick hands, biggest fault together with gearing/engine tuning in 300 is steering ratio which does not make it easier to slide around dry tarmac.

Would love to have 2,5 rotations instead of that 4,7 or was it 4,8 that this has :P

Watching him the other week he seems to cope with it pretty well, he said the suspension geometry on them is really good as standard for drifting, I thought my car was only 4 turns lock to lock but have to double check that!

I think the square number plate is a great look!

Do it! It'll only cost about a tenner for a basic one...which would do the trick!

I'm not sure about the square plate, looks a bit like buck teeth ;)

Certainly an original look, perhaps mounted on the bumper to one side, very much a ricer look ;) Make sure you get a UK sized one and not an import sized one for legality. I'm not sure quite what the rules are for square plates...
