bit of an update...
got my feul rail, fuelab filter and pressure reg back from south coast performance finally as they needed to make and adaptor so my earl's fitting's would fit the fuel rail...
anyway, here's some pic's of them fitted...
can see in the first pic how tight it is between the tb and the brake res, but i'v got a plan for getting round that... hopfully lol
pic of where the black top sump get's in the way of fitting the starter motor
and it's also in the way of the drive shaft on the back
new cossy t34
then i went abit picture mad testing my camera out and took a few random one's...
got my bumper back aswel as my mate that was going to mod it is moving house, so thought it would be best to get it out of he's way for time being
put the splitter up against it so you can see how much bigger it is to a mk5 bumper...
and i couldn't resist fitting it to see how it all look's, need to cut and extend the bumper to make it tie in with the arch's, and cut out the middle like my last one, but this give's you an idea of roughly how it will look
that's all for now

sorry dude, bonnet's staying, i prefer it to a normal buldge bonnet and grill, and it add's the mean/aggressive look im going for
i think you should have a go with the splitter and sell me the rubber one you have :thumbsup:
seriously though, how much do you want for your splitter, i'll give you what you paid + 100

might give it ago anyway, if it look's pant's i'll just spin it back round to nice shiney alloy
