the one ive got on there at the moment is a janspeed, which cost about £240. still hit a few times though. i bought a sportex one for about £170 and that wasnt any good either. its got to be exactly the same as the original in design or it will rub

tigerseal doesnt stick straight away, we had to hold it in place for about an hour even before we could begin to tape it lol. the clamps are to hold the L piece down. still got the other side to do today, but its all sat down perfectly now. not too sure whats next really, im thinking a flocked dash, but haven't any plans for anything more as of yet.

Will be doing the exact same thing over the next month! Sourcing cheap parts to complete the kit Front bumper should fingers crossed be done mid week this week, so still got to find skirts and arches and get paint yet

nice, would be good to see a GSI rep in your colour! luckily i came across a bloke selling both L pieces and all jacking covers for £50! bargain considering 2 new jacking covers went for £93 a month or so ago on ebay.

Are you going TRAX?

will leave overnight again and peel the masking tape off tomorrow. little bit worried about going over speed bumps though. was a nightmare before the skirts
