[Reap3r_ZA]

So Small setback... As I said I got this as kind of a barn find... so with this the licence was behind, found out today its behind by R4000 ($400) x_x

Yay!

Well that sucks but still cant complain...

@ A4crn - Hopefully gettings the front Pentas during the coarse of the month.

Tomorrow I'll give the girl a good clean and take some proper pictures.

Wait you have to backpay the license, even though you didn't own the car then?

Thats correct. As that is the terms I bought the car on. Still I got the Benz for almost nothing. So I'm not complaining to much. Just setting my wheels plans back a bit. :P

If it doesn't ruin the build thread, I've always wondered what your residential areas look like, and your downtown/urban areas. Maybe when you mod your car, take a few pics "around town" so we can get an idea of what that looks like.

So what you guys think?

Looks a bit better now that its washed :P Still need to do the trunk and fit the rear bumper...

Now my Q is where does it attach? The holes where closed when it had some rust removed.

Also... Whats the best solution for moar low? as at the moment its worse than a 4x4
