Well I upgraded to a type G DV and boy what a fun job that is on a K03!

After I took it for a drive, I'm sure that the induction & whoosh noises are now louder - has anyone noticed that or is it just in my head? :stupid:

I've also noticed it going from a D to a G, definitely more noise

Today I went to my third hillclimb event this month:



^ Had a very long chat with this Golf driver. 1.8 and only 740 Kg and that's with glass windows and back seats etc as he races in the Road-going Production Cars class.



^ This car had actually been rolled only 2 weeks ago, hence the sticker! Great job to repair the car so quickly.



^ An original 1293cc BMC engined Mini Cooper.

Met lots of people including the event organisers and officials.

Did you have any issues ordering the LaminX? Did you remove the lamps?

No issues ordering, though its not the cheapest stuff in the world (funky motor sports, they are on ebay and the web... 10% discount too through their facebook page).

yeah took all the lamps out to go the job as they needed sanding and polishing... easy enough to do though...

Been thinking of doing this to mine for ages now, think I may have to strip the front end and do it!

Gave her a well deserved spruce up. Excuse the amateur number plate blanking  :ashamed:
No exterior mods to show off I'm afraid, OEM is the way I like it!  :happy2:
