That certainly sucks.
I think the paint should be warranted as well, for at least 6 years anyway.

LOL I thought I could feel my ears burning Laughing

Coming along nicely Nathan Cool

Nice work with the rad/intercooler mountings and also good to see some of those less obvious weight saving areas I pointed out are being attended to Cool

Not totally sure of the super bright yellow suspension but hey it's your car and it's each to their own....if we all liked the same things the world would be boring as hell Laughing

Keep it up mate, looking forward to seeing it progress Cool
