Fair enough mate, im getting someone to fit it as well when its on the road as it looks too much to do on my drive. Let us know how it goes though!!

Looks nice mate, love them in red :) where did you get your flip keys done? And how much where they?

Thanks mate, erm yeah i got it from this seller on ebay, good quality key :D need to get it cut this weekend

Let me know how you get on and how easy it was cos I fancy giving it a go as I do like a flip key

I'm assuming your key wasn't a flip before?

It was a flip key mate, im only swapping the case as the original is worn out. Think you need to buy a second hand key on ebay and code it to your car. They always pop up every now and then...

In two minds whether to do this but as my bumper is off thought id do the open grill mod. Going to go for the upper honeycombe grills to replace the slats as well.

Opinions welcome...

Yes to the honeycomb mate but I can't say I'm a fan of the number plate down in the bottom personally. That's just my opinion on it.

It's your car though dude, do what you like not what others say to :)

Hmmmmm plates not to my personal taste either but the honeycomb looks ace. How about a square plate positioned to the side?
