Just a bit of a summer setup really.

Went to AKS Tuning on wednesday and got

Forge short shifter
Wheel alignment
Coilovers dropped back down
Front arches rolled
Also changed my Fuel pump cam follower as was slightly worn but just for that piece of mind.

Car feels so much tighter now when corning and changing gear. Just what the car needed after a remap. Cant thank Alex enough for putting time and effort in working on my car even getting a exhaust braket delivered that i didnt have. Highly recommend!  :happy2:

New wheels are on will prob get some pictures from the Pod on Sunday

I dont have one on mine but i have put magnets on the back of the grill then back on the reg plate with foam pads so they dont scratch the paintwork so i can take the plate off whenever.

But i dont have it on majority of the time its just in the window. I dont drive my car a lot and when i do its only 7 miles to my girlfriends house or gym so my car is never really seen by the police.

Pretty much what Nathangallo said, i have four magnets on mine and has only ever fell off once and that was because the snow pulled it off. I used to have mine in the window and put it back onthe front when it gets dark but now i just tend to leave it on unless im at a show  :smiley:

Love the car mate, the silver looks beastly when modded well and I think you've just about cracked it, will keep checking for updates

On your R32 rear valance, is there a heat diffuser/shield that sits in the rear of the valance? I ordered one last week, picked it up saturday and its a ma-hoosive box that I think sits around the rear box.... :confused: is not the word
