I went round to see a couple of my mates last night who run their own stereo install/supply business at their new unit. They are currently doing a stereo install for a magazine's project car (which is why I don't feel its fair to post pictures) The styling is rather tasteful considering the base car is a Renault 5 GT turbo, I thought I'd share with you the general spec - but i'm afraid you'd have to picture it in your heads - Sprayed Nimbus Grey (Audi TT colour) - Ronal Turbo wheels - Suitably slammed on coilovers - Tuned engine to over 200bhp - Bodywork all trimmed and smoothed euro style with some subtle aftermarket bumpers which are basically smoothed off versions of the 80s originals Car does look stunning IMO - will post some pictures after the magazine itself has revealed it - i'm not sure how secret it is Edit; Oops, I pressed enter before starting to type the actual post

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

imo thats really nice its just because i apprieciate most ways of improving cars, from engine tuning to body styling, the way i see it , its what you want your car to look like and not what other people want it to look like. that just your oppinion but there no need to fire comments like that at people with differant tastes than you ;D ;D ;D

I just don't see that as improving a car.
I didn't aim that comment at you, just the fools who do this snow plough look on thier cars

I think it's a 'Performance GTI' project car. Quite a break from a load of bodykitted rubbish which usually fills their pages I understand. I saw a copy in a local car stereo place...there was a small pic of a white R5 with Ronals? Is that the car?
