they was a little tacky when it came to going home so was a very slow and careful drive home ;)

 

wound the front down another 6mm to get the arch gap right, scraping is a good thing right? ;) haha

gave the car a quick clean and had a spare lanyard so decided to see what it would look like how people put them on to hold the bonnet

then i had left the painted bits indoors right at the back of the counter top so no one would touch them, guess what... they got touched so i have set out to sort them out again today :(

Well my forge made the car completely different when i had these both side by side the forge felt so much more flimsy than the creations which was a good sign and on the car it feels exactly the same

If i had the time to wait for the sfs one to be made to my spec i.e longer tail end then yes i would have had one in a heart beat, no doubt they are better mainly due to them being massive! But creations had these all sitting in stock yes they took ages to arrive as they thought i hadn't paid (long story but i had paid) also when i searched around i could not find anything but good reviews for them so it was these or forge so i went with these :) when i go hybrid (may have to be sooner rather than later now!) then i think i will sort a sfs one especially as i will need 3"

Sfs super sized (think thats what its called) is the one to go for just need to make sure you ask for the extended tail end when ordering clive @ cntunning and rob @ w8 performance can both sort them :)

On my list with shoplifters not shopfitters or porches as porsches
