So here is my Project Car
05 Moonrock with red/black, one owner from new with 10k miles on it.
Since my second S I have had a hankering for 50-60 more horse in a car like the S. Looked at TVR's, Porkers, Nobles, Exiges etc. But could not get my wallet around the depreciation and running costs. So I decided to up the output of the S and I finally got the colour combination I always wanted. What I'm after is taking the S to the next level with out making it look chavved
So here she is stock as I collected her today, does she look worried
And here's the Master Plan

Messed around putting the three different sets of wheels on to look at them, also weighed them.
I also sorted the rear number plate gravel trap!
Completed the mechanical install of the super charger, just need to do the electrical bits!
