Front valance looks spot on - can't see any difference to my ED30 version :smiley:

Cheers Dave, no sure if the placebo effect or not, but seems to turn and stop much sharper. Be happier once got some good rubber on them tho. Looking at replacing the rears too. Any recommendations? Goodyear, Michelin and Verds always seem to pop up in reviews.
Yeah pleased with splitter :smiley:

Hey Si, that won't be placebo effect at all - nice light wheels will help all round with feel & response on the car. Not sure of the best tyre to recommend, but after trying Toyos, Dunlops, I have gone back to Continentals. Seem to have worked well on my old mkiv, and are much better than the Linglongs my ED30 came with!
Latest pics look great BTW - gloss on the car looks great!

All coming along nicely Si! :happy2:
The interior LED's are a great mini mod for little outlay, still get peeps comment on how good they look in my car. If your adding LED illumination you'll be needing some Doow Warning Lights as well, now they really do make a MASSIVE difference.
Review I did a while back.........
