SO you think I only gained 10HP!

Agreed your thunder might have been stolen a little but im still keen to see you 63 front end conversion, since our two cars were nearly seperated @ birth (colour, mods ect....so you must be a man of good taste)

personally im not to keen on the colour coded grill, but to each his own.

what other mods are you throwing onto you beastly? are you going engine now?

I dont think I would like the color match either

I will be doing engine mods after I have all the visuals done. Still need to fix the exhaust and then want a Euroteck diffuser.. Also cant do without a front lip either

Thats always a good plan, do one first and finish that then start with the next step

the Euroteck Diffuser is hot as well, i did the 2 fin just cause it was different to the 3 fin everyone else has on (you seem to do the same, just to keep yours different) the 63 front end conversion needs the lip man just doesnt look right with out it.

once both our cars are done it would be so cool to see what the two cars look like (pitty we cant park them next to each other).

long live the Pewter!!!
