Welcome aboard MCSJCW!

I want to see photos, too. But my request is to get a shot in the old part of Lisboa with a street car in the background!

A sleeper, hey? Did you remove the JCW badges or choose not to put them on? Has it worked; I mean, have you caught anyone sleeping? I just noticed your angel eyes...nice.

Hello
I choose not to put on when I install the JCW Kit

Thanks for the opinions, now I am thinking put a new brake system, the choices goes to Wilwood, Stoptech and TAROX. Can see here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...98#post1282698
I want to make too a suspension upgrade, my choice will be for KW V1 or H&R Coilover set. My intention is to lower 20mm. Factors to have in consideration: Lighter and comfortable Setup. Can see here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...11#post1282711

I wait your opinions.

Best Regards
