Oooo that's a good idea. Although they're already surprisingly clean it's just flat plastic and a speaker. I want carbon door skins on the front

So few updates, car was at AKS on Monday to have the flywheel sorted as it had been rattling for months and omg it's so much nicer to drive now. Also got some new Mintex M1155 front brake pads to replace my rather embarrassingly battered EBC yellowstuffs. Didn't do the front suspension mods in the end due to lack of funding. Have tidied up the rear end a bit though by removing sound deadening and some little bits.









Went to London for a few snaps of Jay and Ben's Rocco's last night

Awesome pictures! The models helped too... :laugh:

Pity you have to sell suspension upgrades to recover some funds. :sad1:

Some good work here Dan, I like the whole look - can sorta appreciate it more in some strange ways now I've moved to a 430d after 11 years of warm/hot hatches  :innocent:

When are you and Jay planning another trip to Bedford? On my doorstep you see, good excuse to burn some carbon again if it's the bigger layout :evilgrin:

Thanks mate, probably be a while as it's mostly evening sessions for now and next time I'm on track will be July at VagTuner. Probably go back towards the end of the season when they're nice and cheap again.
