OK its mine.... just a few quick responses....
1) Lambo doors were an idea - they'll actually reduce the weight!! They'll also allow much easier access in & out of the car. Its an idea... maybe tempted but we'll see!!
2) Bedford... yep the car was higher than standard due to some prototype developement suspension. But also due to the fact I wasnt actually driving - it is rented out for track use & that day I was in the RS!!
3) ICE - ok you shouldnt add weight blah blah.... I've driven the car 44k miles in 2 years. Its nice to be able to hear the stereo.... so what?!? I'll lose 0.1 off the 0-60 time.... its all removeable so for track use it can be taken out!!
Its all down to personal taste & choice at the end of the day tho. So some ppl dont like the spoiler... so what?!? I have to admit sometimes I'm not overly keen on it. But then its a genuine hollow carbon fibre wing with adjustable rose joints. It does actually increase downforce at higher speeds!!!
Thanks for all your comments Steve.... see ya soon!!

Looks good, love the RS - Would love to buy a stock GT3 next after the Evo  Personally wouldn't add Lambo doors, best left to the Corsa and Saxo boys

Lambo doors would save weight... the hinge on the car is currently around 5.5kgs - the kit to run the lambo doors is around 4kgs. The original hinge wouldnt be used & discarded - so saving weight!!

I heard with that sort of weight loss he will be able to go back to the future.

lol......... but I'm not doing it for weight loss....
I'm doing it cos I thought it'd be a bit of fun & make it easier in tight spaces in car parks!!
Was only explaining that its not going to make it heavier... with regards to previous comments!!
