not sure about the position of the sticker. Ive got one too and have had it for about 3months, still not sure where to put it.

 

Maybe behind driver side window (the small one)

Hi Guys.

Just fitted my new Stillen Splitter today bought from Chris at Tarmacsportz.

Was meant to change my sidelights but ended up spraying rear indicator bulbs silver to get rid of the fried egg look. Nice cheap and quick mod!

Today i have been out at 7:30 and brushed the snow off of my car! Doing this has given me huge weight savings :D

 

I also changed my rear fog bulb to an LED type.

Are they considerably brighter? Was contemplating doing the reverse light as well if it makes it brighter? Hate reversing in the dark with the limited view as it is!

The reverse light is amazing in LED form. Fog light is not too bad but not as good as reverse.

 

These are what i bought, i think the projector lens really helps. The same bulb fits both the reverse and Fog l;ight and you can just about get to them if you remove the rear light clusters. Saves removing the bumper.

rodgeevans: I need to respray my handles, just unsure at the mo whether to go black on black as well. You should remove the rear wiper, and coat the glass with some Gtechniq (like rainx but lasts for 3 years !) :D

Braved the cold yesterday and fitted my new HKS grounding kit :thumbs:

 

Then decided to change sidelights for white LED canbus type and 8000k xenon bulbs, done the full wheel off, arch liner out etc as I nearly destroyed my hands last time, ended up taking nearly all afternoon! :rant:

Well same boat as most as the weather is seriously hampering getting my mods onto my car. So decided to just go and get the car booked in at my trusted local indi garage to do the work plus using the ramps will make work so much easier! Anyway my replacement forum decals turned up today and managed to get those done... It's sort of a mod :-p

Well looks like my Mod man Taras has decided to get rid of the veilside skirts (That were crap) and putting chargespeed ones on.

Every now and again he sends me a picture of my car (Or is it his) of what she looks like.

All I have are memorys:(
