The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

It's a nice looking FTO, the rims look great. You've obviously put some hard work into it mate! But... why vielside? Seriously, why? I'm totally lost as to how anyone could consider it to be anything other then the worst looking mass produced front bar and rear spoiler for the FTO (except of course the d'cautro rear spoiler... i almost vomitted just thinking about it).

It leaves... many... holes. That's what was on my car before Adriano (bless his soul) swapped to a GT wing. There's 3 holes on either end, plus maybe one or two in the middle.

This is the work of the stock spoiler.

GR's definately came with stock spoilers like the GPX ones.

Infact the only non spoiler car (by default) from Mitsu was the GS.

Speaking of options, I was watching last weeks Top Gear about the AMG 4x4 and how it had light up "AMG" kick plates and Hammond goes "this is the sought of thing supermodels like" or something like that.


I was like....ooooh yeah, I got that 8)

Nice work jap80x! Did you have trouble fitting them?
Your offset doesn't look too different to stock look at the pics. I love what you've done all roudn but I think it would make a huge improvement if you brought the wheels out a bit more.
Kudos though, the paint look beautiful!

the 19inch zenetti kaotiks fitted straight on, with stock suspension.
the only problem i had with the wheels was because they are 19"x8.0 wide
the 225 tyres srub when you had the car full lock.
so i had to change them to 215 tyres and they dont scrub at all, and i reckon the car rides perfect, not feeling very many bumps.

how thick are your tyres on your 18" wheels?
are they 18"x7.5 225/40 or something?
i had 18" wheels that where that wide. and they scrubed.
but now my 19" are 19"x8.0 215/25 thats the difference why they dont scrub.

Remember the 25, 35, 40 etc series is a ratio of the tyre width.
