Wouldn't be my first choice if i had bought the car brand new

I like Blue or Grey but it was cheap

Looking good mate. I was there a few hrs previous to you having mine serviced. Did you pick up the black washer fluid and expansion bottle caps? Think it will finish off the engine bay nicely.

ah but thats weight saving. Thats different as theres a performance gain. Im talking carbon inserts for fog lights, and grills etc that serve no purpose other than looking pretty

Yeah that's me.

I know what your saying. I'm generally not one for buying stick on parts as it were. I saw the mounts whilst I was down there and will probably get a set further down the line. As you recommended the Forge shortshifter and 42DD bushes, I imagine these would compliment them quite well.
