Cheers  :smiley: Just had a pre cat delete and air intake. Also had a catback but any gains from that are pretty negligible I think.

Was messing about with a temporary lip spoiler untill I find an ed30 one for a price I am willing to pay.

Did this... Opinions please?


I actually like it and it looks abit better in person. Either way its on now for the meantime but I actually think it looks quite good and quite subtle.

So took the lip off after it started to peel.... looked alright while it was on though and a bit low...

anyway that's gone now so I've decided to get an ed30 lip, most likely a replica off eBay and then colour code the car.

Also want some wheels. Originally wanted the OZ super turismo LM's but I found these and I actually prefer them.

I don't want to rush into it so taking my time as there is no rush so any input is welcomed  :happy2:

And lastely I changed my side light bulbs to some LED ones to look abit fresher and go with the xenons more. Its not the best pic as the reflection on the headlights makes it hard to see the side lights.

Left of the pic is new LED right is old yellow bulb

Just got them on the car so will upload pics of them fitted soon

P.s I decided against the rota's in the end

Keep hearing about this pre-cat delete mod...now I am convinced with that remap print out.This is something I want to do before I go to R-Tec myself.

Thanks for the kind words guys.. I will get some pics up tomorrow of them on the car.

I've been looking at wheels for quite a while now and finally decided these where what I wanted  :happy2:

No bud, I went through rimstyle as they were £20 cheaper per wheel and I've used them before  :smiley:
