Yeah you have the ARB on correct settings. Never put front on hard, I thought i would try it for a week. It over steered alot more and oh man does it make the cabin a harsh place to be.

Well kinda unimpressed with the milltek, I really don't understand what all the fuss is with them, this is de res and it's not much louder.

One more worrying thing is I'm finding the seats really uncomfy......really niggling my back, been messing to find a comfy setting.

I'll say it now so you can all laugh, it's staying standard and I'm keeping it.


I do have some budget left

So my options are

S3 front brakes

And

Intake

Or roll bars

Will be if it keeps giving me a bad back, never known it, the amount of cars I've owned and driven,

I'm still fiddling with the lumbar support, so I'm hoping praying that its just me feeling crap with this man flu.

like I said the other day, I started touching up any chips on the car with a 2k solid.

well today I began blocking them down with 2000, I then followed with a 3000 trizact and im now leaving it to breathe till weekend,

I did how ever miss a few chips so ive added some more touch up.

heres how it looks at the moment

ill again polish it up with 3m fastcut plus/yellow and then ultrafine. will make a massive difference to the front end and save me painting it. I have done the bumper too but that my need the gun on it lol

Same thing applies mix the basecoat with a little clear coat. Add activator and it will dry gloss ;)
