liking the colours, oem splitter would look well!

Gear knob looks good, looking at new ones myself. Did you do the carbon effect gear surround yourself, much work involved?

Gave mine a quick wash yesterday, nothing fancy, just a normal jetwash and it came up a treat - so much so I decided to refit the 17s ...... unfortunately i've found play in the offside rear wheel - booked in next week to get looked at and more than likely a bearing replaced It's a BEAUTIFUL day out there today!

Great looking car Gary (and your's too UF )

What size tyres are you running on there Gary?

Seeing that picture makes me think mine would be better if I raised it up a touch.

Oh, and get those tips polished

The gearknob is a Ricks item.

The carbon took about half an hour. Razor blade for the edges and credit card for smoothing and corners. The hard bit is not doing tons of other stuff when you realise how easy it is.

I think I'll be getting a splitter shortly.

I'm surprised by how much difference the bigger wind deflector makes too. Especially on the Motorway with the top down on the way home from work.
