Freshly painted arches most likely full of filler! A bar in the arch, mates on the bootlid thats a recipe for disaster if i ever saw one!

Really nice motor there dude! :cool: It's good to see a cabby that's not barry but still not oem. Wheels are awesome, the only thing that isn't to my taste are the sideskirts and the tailpipe.

d.i.y guys.. just been out driving with them they look good in the dark lite up, but will need brighter HID`s think i got some fog light ones in my main lights.

FMH: Dude you can do them yourself all you need is a heat gun and some black paint i used the the high temperature paint because of the HID`s


can anyone tell me what ones to go for for the main driving lights.
