Managed to get some bits done recently
Tinted the headlamp protectors, looked good in person
decided they didnt like going as fast as the car and buggered off....thnk i prefer without anyway
Painted the cooler black, bit more stealth
played about a bit with the height, nice comprimise between looks and handling. may space the front wheels a little bit more but we'll see...

Have some 20mm spacers for the front, will fit them once i've painted them.
Few rolling shots from the trip back from edition, car did over 600miles in 3 days and didnt miss a beat.
Porker brakes on the shopping list next, need to fit my exhaust mani too
