Cheers pal, they took for ever to do!!

Nice mods! Did u paint and fit the rear bumper spoiler your self?

Cheers, iv realised i should put this work in the project section really. i fitted on the ramp in the picture at work it took ages and 2 trips to the paint shop but well happy with the look of it. I will load some new pics with my new exhaust up tomos!

Did u have to modify the bumper at all? There is a template in the box and instructions for a cut out. Is this necessary on the vrs bumper do u know? Thinking I'm going to need to get mine fitted professionaly... Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

No it fitted straight onto the original, the advise I can give is be careful wat glue you use make sure its the right stuff for the job and make sure whoever paints it use a good plastic primer because its a right pain to get the paint to stick to it! In the pic I attached the paint all pealled off and i had to have it repainted.

Some pics of previous work!

First pic's are when my front spring snapped so I decided to change the lot for stiffer Koni's.

Whilst in the process changed both track ends!

Next, my first attempt at refurbing and painting all 5 of my original damaged wheels!!

Cost about £70 for parts and paint.

I spent roughly 8 hours on each wheel sanding by hand and at least 2 coats of each, primer, paint and laq.

Looking good Danny! Plenty of patience needed to refurb the wheels, so many spokes to sand down :p

Also decided to change the pollen filter after seeing the state of it, and finally got round to buying a lcr front splitter and then found out it wouldn't fit on the works ramp!!
