Updated very first post.
In the middle of my winter changes!
Back to the OEM bumper
Contemplating a set of BBS LM's or RGR's for winter tyres any one know where to get them for a decent price?

And you say I have OCD That is super clean and tidy, I like the subtle changes too. I do prefer cars when you look at them and wonder what's different even though you can see it's not standard.

Out of interest, why the OEM bumper refit? Protect the 'nice' one?

surely I should send you an invoice for an hours entertainment!
Not posted on this for a bit, she's been under wraps over the winter.
Came out for the first time last weekend, I forget how good it was!
Burnt my a$$ on the heated seats!
Still a few niggles to sort though!

The Amuse went to Chris who never fitted it and sold it on recently.
I found the white base coat made stone chips stand out too much.
The fibre glass aero blades where even worse, black with a bad case of white acne! Plus they scrapped too much!

I've been toying with doing this to the bonnet but a but more tastefully
Front scoop straight in to the SC air intake
Back two shaped to create a vacuum under them

DIY Bonnet? - like i have seen on the US forums where you cut into the OEM bonnet?

I have B/I discs and Honda OEM pads, i replaced the fronts/back discs about 18month ago. I already changed to Motul RBF600 fluid years ago.

With your disc+pad setup (BI discs+ds2500pads) how you do your rate it over stock?, much difference? - if so what?

Cheers

I feel the brakes are 'slightly' lacking with 350BHP now

There is a company near Epsom that stamps vents etc into standard bonnets, I saw one car they had done and have to say was pretty impressed.
But that does look lovely, with the weather over here though you would need rain channels.
