Looks like a cross between an FTO and a penguin!

Can't argue with the spec though!

In time when i get around to the astethics of the car i recon,

Carbon fiber bonnet sprayied white except the raised area in the middle and well laquered (just to show im using the carbon fiber bonnet to for hte weight loss and not to look uber cool but at the same time the centre shows that it is carbon fiber)

respray the boot and skirts white,

and get a carbon fiber spoiler OR white spoiler with carbon fiber blade

I think I remember this FTO from the UK forums, did the guy that sold it to you say he was a member??
Well wear by the way mate, it does look sweet, but I'd be inclined to have it all the one colour! :D

Well done on the new arrival. Run it in a bit before you go mad doing lots of expensive stuff to it! I noticed that it's de-catted, did he give you the cat with the car as well or will you have to source one for nct?

Well wear Dan!

Personnally wouldn't bother with the spots - I think it looks meaner without.

I actually don't mind the present colour scheme - I know there was originally a CF front bonnet on that car and I guess he had decided to colour code other bits of kit.

Theres a lot of history of this car on the UK forum so it would be well worth looking up.

User name on uk forum was PmacFTO.

He also has a gallery with some really nice photos of that FTO- particularly like this shot - note standard front bumper,different CF bonnet and massive rear wing-

nice looking machine Dan - well wear :-)

I kinda like the two tone - it gives it something different - it doesn't look like it's done by accident if you know what I mean.. It's not like my take on the two tone :-)

Looks like a nice spread of mods as well - saved you a fair few bob having to get it all done to a standard one :-)
