At long last coupe hits the front pages of a mag. Its the coupe that was on the FUEL stand at Donny south 2005 and they also have a couple page spread on it. At last the coupe gets some decent coverage in mainstream mags :cool:

Not sure where the final power figure comes from, air intake and exhaust must be making 33bhp?

2.0l + 50 bhp wet nitrous system, + K&N + Exhaust system=220bhp?

Sound right?

Not sure either but is a lovely motor it certainly pulled a crowd at donny south

Certainly is a nice motor Garfie, I still like the mouth to be open but looks neat. Unusual de-tango job going on, and that Porsche spoiler works well.

a 50 shot will give 40bhp max. standard 136 + intake/exhaust = 146ish + nos = 186max.

220 lol max always puts daft owner estimates down.

You guys will hate me but I think the kit sucks

sorry zoe but there SR apache headlights and are made from the UK black 2002-2004 headlights.

I'm sure one of the new Coupes was going to have those lights as standard :confused

To JohnV6,
Just been looking at the car again with a colleague who HATES it also. I'm not over impressed but think the missing vent is not a better look. Now tempted to paint light surrounds black to match my car when I eventually get round to losing the amber..Is this a filthy time of year or what!

This week I av mostly been doing the overnight downpour dance..without any success. I wish you all a long bright shiny summer.

I reckon the kit looks O.K but the lights are quite cool was wandering about geting the facelift ones if we can get hold of them does any one know??????

I have to be honest, its an awful colour, and at the end of the day, its not a personal effort, its just a sponsored effort

Thats just my 2p's worth,

Matt

And for those that can't remember, this was it in pre-bodykit guise.
