decent paint work - Check!
matching rims -check
well fitted body kit -Check
not overly stickeres or riced -check

Ride height is the only thing to change...

Seen lots more p platers driving crapper cars than this..

jeez some people are hard to please
There's far worse out there or people are running out of fails to post.
