Well when I joined here I bought the mrs a FTO Gr but it had way to many problems So got her a nice fresh fto from japan a GPX I must say the mivec sounds awsome Here is a few pics after I spent all day washing the bloody thing :lol:

Had for 3 months & now first prob leaky coolant Hopefully nothing serious

And how the paint looks in the sun after spending way to much time cleaning :lol:

looks great, not a fan of square plates on pre-facelift models, there's a lovely shine form the paintwork, you obviously worked on it!
