Looking good mate, has the front grill all been colour-coded black? The honey comb section looks gloss black, much better than standard plastic.

Si

Just noticed this, yeah the grill is colour coded gloss black, looks a lot better than the un painted one :)

Went to the first Northern Madness car show last weekend, just a couple of photos that my mate snapped!



Then just a couple I took on my phone

Slow progress is better than no progress! Haven't been on here in a while but I thought I'd get back in to it and update you guys :)

Bought some KW V3s, on my previous cars I've sworn by AP Coilovers, however I've found my new norm for now and the future, the ride on the V3s is exceptional!



Time to get them fitted! The rears took about 20 mins to sort out.. Then there was the fronts, what a ball ache that turned out to be! Apparently it's not a one man job so had to get my friend round to help me, we got there in the end though after lots of Fing and blinding and many cups of tea later!


And the end result.. Think I need to bring it down ever so slightly but I'm happy with the height as I plan to put 18s on, either speedline turinis or TD 1.2 pros!





Looking at either exhaust, wheels or brakes next!

Cheers
Alex

Absolutely love the KWs! 10x better than the standard setup. Im gonna have a play around with the dampening and maybe stiffen it up a little. however it handles like a dream on the V3s
