Very brave fella, take it the cars a keeper?
can i ask how much the kit was?

Its a great enhancement to your car. Not sure it would have the same effect to a Black car. So whats next??
Thanks smile the grill with fixings was £85, template £56 and mesh £41 or you could buy the grill only off ebay for about £56 and bond it in.

Still got the short shifter and the braided brake lines & GT3 brake ducts sat in the garage waiting to be fitted.

Love them... Who did them may I ask?
A Company called Camcoat in Warrington, they are really helpful and do a lot of exhaust coatings. Cost me £40 + shipping

lol how a few months change, no dermal get the jigsaw out :-O , scary job :-)
Lol, bloody typical I had a B&Q leaflet in the post this morning with an offer on for Dremels & also the Bosch all rounder. The jigsaw was a bit scary especially as I was using the wrong blade for plastic so it bounced around a bit.

I reckon a set of these LED sidelights and grill guards would suit yours.

I do like those! Have you got them wired as DRLs or on the fog light switch?

I've wired them to the side light connection. You can hard wire them as DRL's but I didn't want to break into the loom.
You don't need to break into the loom, inserting a simple diode in the light switch does the trick. This now makes me want to get some of those LED spars now smile

Finally got round to fitting the OEM short shifter that I bought last summer. Quite time consuming removing the centre console but very rewarding to have done it myself and saved a lot by not having to pay someone's labour rate.
Very happy with the feel of the shift now - how it should be smile

hi andy, i've just bought some twin tips to replace my single oval. just wondering if you fitted your twin pipes yourself ? if yes, how hard were they to fit?
Hiya buddy,
They were very easy as mine is an aftermarket exhaust and the tips are just separate straight pipes that clamp on with a single bolt.I guess if yours is a factory exhaust then it will be a "T" connection so you may need to loosen one of the boxes to get it clear.
