....I haven't seen the eBay ones in the flesh yet but I think they are real carbon but applied to the front face only. The expensive TID's like mine are carbon throughout so I get to touch the stuff  :evilgrin:

If I were crapping money at the moment i would buy the TID ones for sure as the look much better. But for the money these will be fine.  :smiley:

Me too - although  :driver:TBH I would have bought them if they were just OEM colour as I just want to be able to hold the wheel properly whilst changing gear!!

well before the car went in for its new wings thought i would have a go at wrapping my rear bumper


never done this before and took me a couple of hours to do but only cost me about £5 to it myself so worth a go

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

Just took her for a lambs wool wash at my local jet wash after a 750 miles weekend trip.

On the way there, my diagnostic light came on, so I swore a lot and hit her.

I also ordered the paddle extensions from eBay. Have wanted a set for a while now, with at least some carbon fibre, after seeing RR's (to go with my steering wheel insert), can't wait.

Thanks for the heads up Billy :happy2:
