Like that fella, they look so good with ambers up front. You just bought it or had it a while?

i think the splitter and wheels really make the car and the engine bay looks to have a had some keen attention to detail inflicted on it! Only thing i that would really make the car would be treating that rust on the arch and giving the exhaust a good polish!

If you dont have a buffer, there are some places that will mirror polish the whole thing for a few quid to a high standard.

Normally I would say ambers at the back too, but with your colour I think it pulls off the smoked rear end very well so maybe leave it as is? You choice though my friend, as it is your car.

Can I ask which splitter it is you have on there, where you got it from, and how much it was?

Thanks mate

Yeah I might put the Ambers on a see if I like it.

The splitter is a "Rouse style" it's on eBay the part number is 130710955877 plus it fits really well too!

The price is a little heavy but it does set the car off

Hope that helps

Just not into it.

Something about it that I don't like.

Oh yeah - I don't have one

Like the Ambers, in my opinion it would look even better with the rear lenses to match, would break the back end up a treat, nice car anyway

Try to angle the exhaust silencer upwards instead of down like it is now. Looks a bit weird the way it sits now

Cool thanks, I will get on the exhaust tomorrow. I can't get rid of the sticker or plate as that's the garage I work for so my boss might get a little upset.

I still stand by my previous comment that it suits the smoked rears,

however...,

I do prefer it with ambers on the arse end!

Looks sweet buddy.
