Probably sell it, although I lent it to my mate and I may have trouble prising it off him. :duh:Quote:

If you are refrring to the led in the spoiler, thats an early / late thing, not a GL / VR6 thing.
Noice. I like.
Did it end up getting the whole VR6 front end (including brakes)? Earlier pics show the CL 2 door, later ones appear to have VR6 brakes.
Cheers,
Al..
Just to save him some time, loon's car is a full 2-door vr6. FULL.
I don't even think you can have a vr6 without the widetrack suspension..
Oh ok then fair nuff.Quote:

You can there are guys in the US doing VR conversions with 4 studders still :)Quote:

the 2dr shell isn't really that much lighter than a 5 door, except it looks far sexier.... ;)
Its a full VR6 conversion. Widetrack suspension, big brakes, wiring loom, abs, mfa, cruise control, everything.
We took every wire and mechanical part out of the VR6 and put it in the 2 door.
I didnt think it would be much lighter, but it must be as it flies in comparison to all the 5 doors I have been in. Could just be a very fresh motor though.
I`ll try and weigh it if I have time.
Just drove it home in the rain! Untold wheelspin in every gear! Grin factor plus.
