It is a replica (A very good one) made by a body shop in Aus, but you can get it from plenty of places, Shine Auto Project also make replica kits at a decent price!

Thumbs up! Whoever put that bodykit on did a great job.
Now pop the hood (bonnet) and lets see what's going on under there.

Thanks for the love! I'll take some bay shots, it's pretty standard! I have some questions to answer here! I'm searching for the ultimate air induction as well as some help on making air guides!

Been a while!

Had to do a short movie when I was learning after effects, shot it on a D90 which is why the quality is average, and it was my first ever go at it, but I had a lot of fun anyway, as I got to have my car as the subject!

Thanks guys!

New clutch this week, cannot wait! Can't put much power down or it just slips at the moment, so not fun, also on the look out for coil overs!

Hey guys, been meaning to get involved here a bit more.
Since my last post the car has undergone a lot of work, including a street port with RA Super Seals, plus a few bits and pieces like an Autoexe Brace, new tyres, BC Racing suspension, HKS intake, Bride seats and so on!

I recently had my car featured so I thought I would share it here!
