Decided to wrap the front grille and badge in black vinyl until I can get the car into the body shop to have the grille smoothed and painted

Very nice car mate, not sure on the colour of the new rims but each to their own. Is that the BSH true seal? How do you rate it as a friend of mine was contemplating one of these

Wow

cant believe how nice those wheels look in that colour :surprised:
-
Wheels & car work for me in the last pic :happy2: It's got a very healthy drop too.
Nice one dude.
-
Looks lovely, definitely need black side skirts on mine! Whats it lowered on?
-
Wheels look a bit too gold in that pic, will get some more pics soon
It is on FK Silverline coilovers
I have nothing else to compare the BSH to apart from the stock intake, and it is a fantastic improvement over the oem unit
Thanks for the comments :happy2:

Loving the new look D. Was good to see you at the weekend. Felt really weird taking it out on road test. Keep up the good work :driver:

You too mate. Will be down for a few more things over the coming months hopefully :happy2:

cars looking great :happy2:

What is the ride quality like with these on? Is it rock solid? Cheers

They are firm yes but not stupidly hard. Handles better now with these than it did with the H&R springs
However maybe taking them off to go with air but will see :wink:
