Think i might go for some of these wheels in gunmetal
Racingline R360 19"
Not decided yet.
Also took delivery of maxon design sideskirt diffusers. But im not decided if i like them so might send them back. Not sure if they would look right without a front lip, which i won't fit as i don't like the look of them.
Also got some 340mm front discs and 310mm rear discs and some goodridge braided brake lines. See how they go before i splash out on a big brake kit.

Very nice example you have there Howie, and it'll be interesting to see how accessible these 7R's become as more come into the used market off their PCP ownerships.
Not trying to spend your 'hard earned' but.....have you read the Feb edition of PVW. Interesting feature on the Revo IS38ETR turbo upgrade. Despite the costs getting on for the best part of 5 large, the performance figures consistently achieved are insane for a 2 litre hatch.
0-60: 3.2
0-100: 7.18
30-130: 11.17
That was a DSG so maybe the manual might be a few tenths down but I remember years ago (I'm talking 1980's when I was a lad) but some of the Porsche tuners in Performance Car mag were chuffed to crack 0-100 in 10s. That's progress.
Anyway, I've gone off track a bit, I'll enjoy following what you do with yours :happy2:

Cheers mate. I've not seen it, but yeah its crazy figures. And with the awd it puts it down well, think power wise i'll be happy for a good while haha.
Was out in the snow and it even puts the power down well in that. Cruising by everyone stuck on hills with a grin
