 :signLOL: nothing for now Jake.

My creativity will stretch about as far as a wrapped black rear VW boot badge and then I'll probably be finished :grin:
I looked at some insurance quotes for a stage 1 map but I can't actually get insurance from the best priced providers, so that might be a no go.

BTW, where are these splits of yours dude?!  :jumpmove:

Lee and Robin - you're both terrible influences  :happy2:

Are they your splits Jake?!. They're nice and would never stay that shiny without polishing every other day! Especially on UK roads...

Nothing too new barring OEM look dome centre caps and a good clean 4 days ago which was overdue, but still took some pics;



























































I've stuck to the task and tbh I haven't got anymore immediate plans for it. I'd love it to just sit 3-5mm lower at the back  :popcornsoda:

A Revo stage 1 and a Dbilas FM intake keep floating round my mind, but for what I need it for it's always quick enough. Still, I know how good they are mapped...  :wink:

Will do the rear badge wrapped black with a grey wrapped background once I stump up the courage to have a go.

Cheers for looking.
Pete

^ Thanks Rich.

The 20mm springs it's on don't really quite do it justice. I think 30mm H&R's would do the trick  :popcornsoda:

Cheers GB :happy2:

I'm very tempted. I just don't want any rubbing on the 18x8s with the new springs. I need to still have stuff in my boot or rear passengers?
