Looks ok that, part's aplenty in the scrappies too. If you haven't already checkout  autoshite.com that'll fit right in

So what's the real plan - take a leaf out of BMWs 'style manual' by having a few beers then break out the angle grinder and welder to build the world's first(and hopefully only) Foctera/Froncus?

Plan is to keep frontera for off roading and work,and focus as every day car,lowered,17" alloys,change front indicators to a smoke/black lens to blend in with bumper,change rear lights to led smoked or black,and change exhaust. Only got this as i also need a more family friendly car lol.
