ok got over early for collection , my mate has a lie in .. bless ... anyway collected it and all back home , and now at office back working .. bit late .. but never mind.

so got over there and un masked it and pushed it out , not the best shots as the sun blinds out the orange ... but i think it looks great .. green and orange are cool

I think the turbo might just make up for less 8 valves, ha. Are you planning on 16 valving it in the future?
