Looks so good Ben. Even better when you lose the exhaust! When did you do away with the red grill strip?
RX2's look mint.

Cheers Chris
thanks alot dude.
Yeah exhaust will have to go soon, it sounds great but its just simply too big.
I took the red grille strip off the other week because it had become pretty tatty due to me painting it (bad idea).
I think I will leave it off for the time being

My first strip stayed pretty red but I used "Sticks like sh*t" to attach it to the grill lol (not sure what I was thinking)
When I got my new grill I bought a new strip and fitted it using Gel tape which worked perfectly, unfortunately it faded after about 6 weeks and went bright pink. I then removed it and sprayed it bright red with just bog standard spray paint (I also lacquered it) but it never set properly and stayed tacky.
With it being tacky everything got stuck to it and it went from looking ace to terrible so I took it off a couple of weeks ago.
Leather is great in the winter but a nightmare in the summer, it literally gets like a green house in the car.
I run VW seat covers on the front seats now which help keep the seats cooler

Mmmmmm that looks nice
Will look much better when the exhaust goes and it'll maybe sound better depending what you ask for...
You thought about smoothing the rest of your car? (doors and rear panels)

Looks awesome dude!
Love the wheels, the extra inch in size makes so much difference.
You need the plate in the OEM position!
