Cheers pal , not the best looking car but its a good wee toy , us spec bumper definatly cleans up the back end altho even just getting the standard one painted makes a big diffrence !

Im running yokohama prada spec 2s all round ... the rain is no fun , infact even driving slowly is still a scary exsperience when you hit standing water haha

that looks smart as ****  :happy2:

what height have you got it sat at?

i have the rears all the way down , and the adjusters out but the front still has a good bit further to go . I had them all the way down at 1st however the sump was taking a bit of a scraping after a few journeys and the arches were none to happy either   :laugh:

Thanks for all the nice comments  :happy2:

I think I'd have to get a silver one if I went back to a mk5 quite rare compared to other colours from what I've seen and the darker ed/r lights with the lower valance and wheels work a treat mate  :happy2:

Looks nice but the only thing that would niggle me is the short front plate on the standard size plinth, are you going to shorten the plinth to match?

Saw this down at crail a while ago and thought it had some poke about it seeing the blue hoses from your fmic.

Didn't see it run though.

Really nice motor.

I will come for ac loser look next time i see you there, unless you stay north of Dundee?
