Bugger me they've abused that alright! I vaguely remember it from when I first signed up to CS I think when it was in immaculate condition lol.
Good to see how much progress you've made already though!

cant stand badboy bonnets and angel eyes, but that looks very nice
i think the rear needs a few changes though to match how good the front is..
ie, semi smooth boot, and 3" outrolled backbox..
keep it up
heres a very..very rough photoshop, but you get a idea..
what you reckon?
