I put some fogs in! However, i don't have the fog light grills yet, luckily the original plastic covers fit on so no one would ever know at the minute!

Do you need a the grilles? I have on spare unused one for passenger side.

Also regarding cam followers, what made you decide to change it? How often should they be done? Oh, and what does it do? :D (I'm a car newb trying to learn some things).

That is my stock tip ha ha its welded onto a straight through pipe so no massive rear box.

And cheers took a while to man up and do it but I think when your in front of it and that's coming up behind you its quite like what the hell is that.

Any chance you could do some measuring? Peeesssee?
I need the pipe inlet diameter (single pipe).,
the gap inbetween pipe inlets
and the total width of inlets (both pipes)

If your thinking of slinging it, ill have it!!! If not at least i know what to look out for.

Indeed... And that's in a car... Think how bad aircraft are on economy in bad wind! :p

I learned yesterday that having 4 people in your car in high winds effs up fuel economy :lol:

Put some new Coronado cherries in and LED sidelights.

It's amazing how something so small can make such a big difference to the appearance of a car (at night obviously)

Been busy doing my cold air feed and also brought some carbon vinyl and wrapped a few things . For a first timer i thought it looked good and wasnt as hard as i thought . I was going to wrap the window pillers but thought it looked tacky and will be getting gloss black for that . Let me know what u think
