There's a certain feller here that shaved his hood scoop and louvered his hood on a Space Blue S that I've always thought was SCHAWEEET!!

I'd say HAL in general is the best, and most unique mod.

gnatster's TR7 bonnet vents wins for me.

agranger's airhorn is a close second.

I really like Voltage's black out surrounds for the fogs, if you dont have the aero kit...I just think it makes the car look more aggresive

I agree with Gnatster's vented bonnet, and molded in hood scoop, a lot of work, but totally worth it.

New Audi TT fuel cap similar lines to the S cap just flush fit.


Rolls royce phantom centres caps split down and rebadged so the logo always stays the right way up even on the.

1 peice dash plastic welded together



Audi rs4 seats also wired up and working

+2 (The track incident made me cringe from afar; glad that bonnet (and the operator, of course) escaped unscathed!)
