Ahh, best colour ever, although I may be biased. Looked so much better with the black kit.

What happened to the car then Sean?

car was sold to Mr.Brown i beleve and then on to AdamG which then had its engine 2.0 16v seat lump transplanted to Adam's White Scala...

Car is now either a Chinese import waste paper bin or a coke can.. SCRAPPED earlier this year I believe..

Tis the very car that I saw on NR in the early days as the best Scirocco around
Loved it and want mine to emulate it or at least be at the level that was!

RIP Throbbemobile

Speaking of Throbbe, has Robin been around much?

it is indeed RIP sadly.
I have the nsf wing hanging up in the garage as a spare and the rear bumper.
just realised - those are my d90's and castellets (now on my scala and gtl) and i ran that set of g60's between Feb 07- Aug 08 on the BRM too thanks to Mr Browns emporium of Rocco delights.

forgot these shots - Rocco Mafia 2006

Lovely car that was.

I can't decide if I prefer the D90's and coded bodykit or the black kit with the OZ's...

I still can't believe this car was scrapped... it can't have been that bad, surely?
