I had 2 new Michelin Pilot Super Sports fit on the front, the grip over the Pirelli P Zero's is amazing, hardly get any wheel spin in 3rd now and has loads more grip in the corners.

Was going to say they're bigger than I expected lol

Did any of you pre drill the holes first?

You know you're going through the bumper plastic yeah? So at most, a quarter of that screw will be 'in' the plastic and the rest will be through and out the other side - making them much longer than needed?

FYI this isn't an OE trim panel. Don't get me wrong they will do the job fine but they're just overkill - especially as they are there to secure a thin strip of rubber on the off chance that the tape fails

And no Dan, didn't pre-drill.... when you use normal sized screws they go in easy enough by hand without needing a pilot hole

Fitted some Heko Wind Deflectors in the rain. It was extremely easy. The hardest bit was getting the plastic paper stuff off the adhesive sections!

Gave up looking for true, reliable error-free sidelights and fitted some resistors to the wiring - No more fiddling with voltages through VCDS - they work as they should without errors Bloody awkward getting to the wiring with everything still in place though

That's what I ended up doing with mine, I'm using the cob led ones and fitted resistors to the wires as they would turn off after 4 seconds.
