Ok I wrapped my bonnet and roof in carbon and it didnt really change the appearance too much so I got some white carbon and decided to put a flag style thing on my roof. Makes it go faster now!!!!
Will get some good photos this weekend after she gets a clean.

I found them from a link on here. Triple R Composites. Photos dont do it justice really, looks better in rl.
I read a thread about them when a guy took his car to the place to have them used as a little piggy. Was done up the road from me but I forget where.

Does look better in the flesh.
A bonus is its just as quick as the evo if not quicker from 40+. On the M1 where is goes from 50mph to 70 Evo couldnt pull from me and I had to lift off just before 70 ***cough*** otherwise I would have bee too close.

And that's why I love the 1.8t,
It's a great engine, tuned it's something else and far cheaper than other quick cars out there. But that evo looks the nutz
All the way up to 70?
Where are you planning you're first track day to be? What track out of interest

To be honest its probably going to be Tunerfest at Oulton Park in July. If I can get time to get my tyres changed.
ive got a rear diffuser on mine too, ive got a skoda Octavia vrs back box on which I plan on replacing at some point as I don't like it.
Good luck with that mate, should be a good day.To be honest its probably going to be Tunerfest at Oulton Park in July. If I can get time to get my tyres changed.
Good or bad I'd love to see the footage.
Seen the badger wagon on yt and that thing is a monster on the track, .
One day I'll get on a track...just not in what I have now.

I need a solution to a whole in the rear bumper on the black plastic bit dead centre. It's a cut out where the tow bar came through! Had to have that sawn off immediately.
Now unsure of what to cover it with. Make whole bigger and put in mesh or grill.
Cover it and wrap it?
Pain. Too high to do a diffuser style mod to cover it sadly.

Been a while but next on list are:
- LSD
- Rods
- Custom map
Hopefully getting them ordered this weekend.
Struggling for traction and need a better map to reduce torque hit and diff to put the power down.
