That really stands out now fella, maybe some nice set of uprated brakes would sit nicely in those wheels until you can play with a different engine

hi jim



that looks cool man , glad gav sold it you , tobe honest you done a better job fitting the spliter than what i did basically you got yours more central , my drivers side spilter was 100mm further over

theres no way a fiber glass one would ever fit it would break before you got around the corner

cheers marco, im glad gav did too lol, hes a top man

im not 100% on my fit yet, im glad its in the middle, but i need to get it a bit tighter to the bumper on the driver side corner, passengers side was perfect ! also going to smooth the join in the middle a little bit

but over all its spot on
