Thought I'd update this as its been a while...

A couple of pics of when I cleaned it a while ago.





Started doing some bits to this again, I bought a new grille from work and set about having it painted and new badges fitted.





Next up on the list of things is having these fitted at the end of the week along with a service.

I'll keep an eye out for you Dan  :happy2:

I like the grille fitting in with the wheel colour.
Everyone around here must think you're the rozzers  :evilgrin: I would!

I would uprate the brakes too. But with the neptunes you need to shamfer any s3 type calipers to clear the spokes

see the area nearest the centre of the wheel is adjusted with a slight pass over with a grinder

Well I've had the vRS lowered but in all honesty it doesn't look that different to me, but nevermind it still fits on the driveway lol. Will have to sort out some new pics.

I've just got to be patient now for 2 months as I've got the car booked into Darkside Developments in June for a couple days having it mapped etc so we shall see what they can do with it so I'll have to refrain from spending for now  :scared:

I bought some R32 calipers from a member on here and I've finally had them fitted, got some 10mm spacers turning up tomorrow to move the wheels slightly off the calipers lol.

Clearance is clearance  :happy2:

The closer to the caliper, the better they look  :drool:
