Seeing the larger pics shows the importance of picking the right colour to compliment your car. Bucky's car is easier as it's black, as your colour is silver, any colour stripe will stand out far more.

Perhaps that's what you're after though! LOL!

All the best with it.

Great- can't wait to see it!

I have seen it on the AU and it does look good- haven't seen one in silver though so looking forward to it.

I absolutely love the EL GT- probably my favorite to be honest..... it's a great part of it (the scoop) to have included on your car mate.

The owners are on the forums. Uraqt is her screen name. Imagine having 3 supercharged beasts in your garage. Be hard to take :

The scoops are pretty cool. Different to going a shaker.

don't think there is a better one for it either to be honest mate- good choice, can't wait to see it......

That seems to suit the low series bonnet better IMO (has that crease running through it)

Good one! Now do it.
