Anyone considering adding anything to their car that identifies it more as a clubsport?

I was looking at these but still not convinced?

Not especially in terms of making it more obviously a CS, but I have added black mirror caps, the OEM clear rear lenses and plan to have the roof wrapped gloss back to mirror the special edition CS. This brake light stick is quote nice but a bit of a rip off.

Here are two threads where people have done mods including Clubsport stickers down the side and some other bits that might give you ideas.

Black mirror caps is a good shout.

Anyone know if there any additional spec with MY23? Assuming our cars will be updated with something or other compared to last year?

I got mine from Ali Express good quality actually and easy to fit. They seem to make a nice difference to the look of the car.

Jeez - all these people with problems posting on the facebook pages - not had any issues with mine so far - touch wood!!! - If I had joined those groups beforehand I might never have gone for the car - A friend has a Rline and has had it for about 12 months and has had zero issues - I guess people dont post about not having an issue.
