That looks brilliant mate the gloss black was definately the right way to go, and I think with the diffuser further back it looks evil and spot on  :happy2:

Thank Rich, I'm loving the splitter that little bit further back.  :smiley:

Since the oil seal replaced on the intercooler hose it feels quite a bit quicker, although I havent really driven it for nearly 2 weeks.  Its the 2nd time that seal has perished  :confused:
