^^ I see. Personally don't like having it there lol. Perhaps if a slight indented recess was made for it?

I was gonna somehow fix it with screws where you had yours BUT on the bottomof the plate so it sits in the gap. No idea lol!!!

Lol I wanted to have 2 LED screws initially but then opted for a light reposition to the middle of the bumper. Shame it wasn't done properly but it works lol (not that the plates actually there!)

Hiya mate. I'm curious about the above mods. what bhp & lp/ft you running at ?

I'm looking to get some more performance out of my 16v and was wondering it would be a more financially viable solution than an engine conversion.

What sort of price range was each of the mods and how difficult were they ?

Noticed that you are running a raceland manifold like m9. Just wanted to know how did you extend your lambda sensor and did you get any engine management lights pop up? Ive extended m9 using wires from an lambda sensor from a scrappie and used heat shrink crimps to join them but my emissions light cumz up after about 30 minz of driving.
