i Do like your carbon fibre fog covers redrobin.... :happy2:

But i'v just put back original black honeycomb fog covers and going to save up for some coilovers.... :laugh:

I need to sort out my ride height.... :drinking: koni fsd and eibach pro-kit just doesnt lower enough

I think it's a much wiser decision to sort your suspension and handling before cosmetics.

How much? - I honestly can't remember but nothing carbonfibre or from OSIR is cheap.

Yeah if i could turn back clock 6 or 7 months i would difinently sort out the stance of the car first and get coilovers instead of shocks and springs

hi mate,

car is looking very nice, not so keen on the fog cover tho.

how about open fog grills with the open duct area behing the honeycomb red?

may look a bit more subtle and still look good !

just a thought :)

yeah Top Cat i jus got lucky with the splitter, came back from hols on friday an saw it advertised an snapped it up same day once my suitcass was put down.. :signLOL:

The splitter looks sooooo much better in person its probably my favourite part of the car now.

I decided to go all red instead of lower half black as i think you would lose some of the detail of the spliter
