it's got potential. Could make a nice project! :thumleft:

Front lip isn't missing, it's just the rev 1 shallow front lip.

£900 although i think it's worth the asking price considering the cost of the conversion.

I'd fit some arches, later front lip, rear Rev3 lights and spoiler, spray it white or gloss black.

Must be running with spacers on for poke out that much, but yep -either abflug arch extensions or rid of the spacers.

Tyres must catch the archies. :shock:

Nah, looks badass with no spoiler and rev 1/2 lights! :twisted:

No spoiler and rev1 lights ... the way forward. Not sure about the exhaust or the paint job.

Give it a set of rogue quad pop up lights, rev 3 rear lights, an exhaust that suits (deffo does not look right positioned in the middle!), flared arches, respray in one colour, and maybe a nice rear wing (not a huge whack off thing, but like a carbon drift wing with the 2 legs/GT wing type). It would be damn cool.

Thought the 3.0 V6 was comparable to the 2.0 Turbo, or why do it?

Never driven one to find out so I'm just reading up on them.

It is in terms of standing 1/4. Almost identical times.

Much more even torque curve, loads of bottom and midrange.

Yes it is around 220bhp

but then for the money you spend converting it to a V6 you could spend less and put a virtually straight swap REV3 tubby engine in with a few mods and be at 300bhp

If you already have a tubby then for the same price of conversion you would have close to 350-400bhp

Hence why i said all noise, no go
