Must have added about 30kgs front and 90kgs rear downforce , so much faster round corners. Who cares? I like the look. Just need to drop the front springs by about 25mm and I'll be happy.

Finally got the rear spoiler fitted (just to stop you hassling me ) only about 6 months after I bought it.

Thought about removing the roof rails a while back, saw one without and really didn't like the look so they'll be staying.

Pimp tints next then ?

Must say I like my rails too, but sometimes I think it would look better, other days I think its spot on the way it is.

I was joking Paul, You wont get me out of the house in the freezing conditions we're due to have tomorrow.

I do have another little install project for you though, when the weather improves a bit. Hope you've got a new soldering iron.

Was talking to my mum earlier and she's off to London for the Chinese new year, I said I'd rather stay in bed than brave the cold

, that soldering iron is worth it's weight in gold, has paid for it's self over and over again, It's now fixed, the gas valve needed adjustment.

When ever you're ready, give me a shout mate

That is very smart Brian.

Much sharper cleaner look with the detangoed front which sets the splitter off nicely.

You can shed some weight by losing the rear wiper now as nothing is going to drop on that rear screen with that rear spoiler fitted. I love the look of it & sets it apart from the usual ones you see.

Wagons rool.

better off with the auto glym super resin polish when working by hand fellas. or try the menzerna intensive polish a de swirl will finish that off nicely Brian.
