I remember seeing the tread you posted when you got the car - looks fantastic now. Only thing I'm not keen on are the angel-eye headlights but other than that it's brilliant. Nice work, hope it passes the MOT :thumb:

do you not want fog lights then? it would look much better with them imo. are the blanks different to the standard ones due to the tech1 spoiler? if not, then i should have a pair here you can have :)

That's looking really nice mate! Good work. The only thing I don't like are those front and rear window stickers, but that's just personal taste.

Looks awesome, really like tech 1's :cool:
