I think that suits you much better, as its more of an old mans car Wink

Looks nice and I have always preferred that trim which is why mine looks very simular Smile

Hard top aswell I see, perfect for the winter.

Thought about fitting the 2005 spec shocks Bilstein 'comfort kit' as it is much better than original. The front being looser is the same as what I have on the TF which is down to being fitted with 195 tyres, when I get chance I am swapping to 215 as it makes the ride more stable and less twitchy firming up the steering to give you more control.

Don't forget that you don't have to go mad with enclosed systems and the like with these cars. The air filter box and pipework were redesigned for a much more effective system and you'll get just as much of an advantage by just changing the panel filter itself to a performance one like THIS ONE and redirect the intake pipes to the nearside air vent.

Thats what I was going to do , just couldn't decide on ITG or piper.

**Rich** 15/8/2011, 8:07 pm

Have to admit I haven't decided which one to go for on mine yet either, although I am edging towards the ITG one at the moment purely on reputation of manufacture. I think the prices are very similar and the performance difference negligable.

Looks Great Colin, looking forward to seeing it "in the metal"

It isn't a sprint.....not the right spec, plus it would have the badge on the back.....but a well specced 160

I thought it had a roughly the same spec as a sprint, what has it not got Lee?

**Matt Parker** 16/8/2011, 8:04 am

Just to clarify it wont be either of the ITG's listed on the PTP site as you should have the wider filter of the 3.
