Thanks Matt and Lammy...

I can't lower it unfortunately as the front bumper would catch on my driveway.

Quick update with a couple of small jobs i've done...

New plug cover.....Remember i wanted rid of the Ecotec one, and bought a stainless plug cover, well i didnt think that fitted in on my engine bay so took it off (Now selling it) and managed to get a Red one off the C18XE engine...

Voila X20XEV 'Red-Top'

;) Brightens it up nicely i think :)


and as my Handbrake handle was getting abit ropey, i got hold of a cheap new Richbrook handle......really wanted a MOMO to match the gearknob, or Sparco 'Drift', but at £20 this was too good to turn down.....

Looks and feels pretty damn good i think :)

Thanks for looking :)

A little update...

I've just managed to pick a rear numberplate panel up reasonably cheaply (Considering what ive seen them go for)...and gave it a trial fit this afternoon....I'm still not 100% convinced about it, I kinda like the look with it fitted but it leaves quite a noticeable gap underneath it:

I took some pics before and after, what's people opinions on it:

Without:

And Fitted:

Opinions? :)

I dont think mine shows the original holes, but then it's darker than yours so harder to see, but it does leave a fair gap between it and the bumper.


*Decided i dont like the rear panel, and it will be up for sale soon.
