you need to put that espace splitter on IMO looked very nice

I would if only the vents in it matched up with the bumper better, same issue with the LCR one on ibizas unless you mod two toether like a few people have done

if anyone is doing that lip splitter mod:

Things I've learnt:
- don't use the tape from B&M the foam absorbs water and then loses stickyness. Going to get some good 3M or no more nails stuff soon.

Some guides I saw suggest using screws, I wanted to see how it held first before making holes in the bumper but my car is too low to do it without jacking it up anyway!

Got my splitter stuck on a little better with some tape from ebay I'm not 100% happy with it so will probably reapply it when it's a little warmer.

I've made the decision to not get any more stickers for the rear window so future ones will have to replace what is there lol

Just before christmas I started trying to correct the swirl marks beginning with the bonnet, but after washing, de-tarring, claying and learning how to use the polisher I was running out of light, so I just gave the whole car a going over with Dodo Lime Prime, followed by a coat of Hard Candy Wax.

The Lime Prime applied by machine really brought out the gloss so I was happy even though I didn't get rid of the swirls. Today I cleaned and gave a second coat of wax:

Got an RARB for christmas, so I'll have to get round to fitting it soon and I will have another go at swirl correction come spring time :)
