Sean,
Feel free to say what you like, It's not my thread anymore and you're entitled to your opinion. I was just offering my point of view on the matter.
I appreciate and accept the Sacrilege view point, that said, in reality, I wonder how many people on here, if they had a Nur, would realistically keep it at 280bhp?
Personally, I like to start of with the best base possible. 'I' don't think its fair to say its lost its rareness and believe it retains its Nur 'halo' effect. It has always remained loyal to the factory look and if anything is rarer than ever. It's only beneath the bonnet where no-one sees, that its radically different. I'm one for the subtle approach, I love factory looking cars that have a suprise under the bonnet.
If it wasn't a Nur, it probably would have looked quite different as I wouldn't have remained faithful to the concept. Everything fitted externally was factory (bar the Mines wing mirrors
).
Anyway, thankyou for taking the time to explain yourself, you're one of the members on here that I've always respected and it says more about you that you did.
Cheers
Nito
