Very unusual, that's why I like it! :D Actually looks better on the car in person than in the photos. :thumbs:

After last night on the track, it may have handled like a bag of shit. But I still love the box standard MR shape. :thumbs: :love2:

That last photo looks the nuts! (Maffster?)

It is a lovely shape and very easily spoiled by aftermarket dickery. Bushes and even strut braces won't cost the Earth.......familiar territory Dan? I recollect you doing the same to your blue one?

Unfortunately not, those two (along with others) are the MSV ones. :nod: Although I see Matt has taken a few in the photos thread! :hurray:

Yeah very familiar, the only thing I regretted with the blue one was never fully replacing the suspension since it was largely collapsed. But this with new bushes, drop links, springs and a couple of ultra racing braces should make for a decent 'step up' combo. Just need to wait until I'm earning again before a big green box takes all my money. :rolleyes:

To say I'm happy with what Stuarts done is an understatement! The Pajero was great but this with the metallic paint really does speak volumes. :nod: Epic work Stu, every time I get out of the car I have to keep looking at it shining away. :thumbs:

Just to add. Now that Stuart debadged the boot lid it then gave me the chance to modify one of the badges to just a plain 'GT'. I could've paid Toyota £35+VAT unpainted for the pleasure of a small piece of plastic, but I wasn't that happy to oblige. So I cut the badge up, dressed the ends and now have it fixed on the car. :nod:
