And the bumpers and bonnet aren't straight. And the poxy Abbott badge is under the lacquer, with no Saab badging at all.
I had 205s with lowered springs and no rubbing anywhere. But the mods were done by the previous owner and I was blissfully unaware of the details. I never even knew the power output. Didn't put it on the dyno. But the speedo needle went off the end of the gauge. It looked to be at 150. Good times.
What are the limits for putting extra power through the FWD? Do you get torque steer at some point? I never did.

You might of had the desirable type 8 primary gears which gave better spacing and taller 5th gear. I'm not really fussed about more power but would love them for more relaxed motorwaying.
Depending on your tyres and driving style you can easily get torque steer with standard power when the boost kicks in. Getting more power is not that hard but transferring it through a delicate gearbox is another matter.

Probably looks better IRL but yeah, weird stance and some awkward gaps all round. I had a Platana grey T16s and it's a nice colour but clear/smoked indicators look rubbish on it (and in general). Rims are 16x6.5" so they may have had to go low profile if they've gone 205 or wider as these rub at the back. Be interesting to know how much protection the LSD gives the gearbox or improves grip.
£70K spent and they've used £10 self adhesive bumper strip inserts that are are flaking away is a warning sign. My budget is approximately 10% of that which is still a lot of dough but hoping i can at least sell it for the price of the work further down the line.
