I'm not a big fan of carbon fibre add-ons, but that rear spoiler does look better than the factory one IMHO...

Thanks, I don't usually like carbon fibre unless it's done right. There is so much tat out there pretending to be something it isn't. There will be many who think the same about what I've done I'm sure, let's face it it's all cosmetic rather than functional, but I've tried not to cross the boundary between tasteful and tacky by my own personal taste.

No need to be a tool, I was genuinely asking as I struggle to find one who accepts more than a few.
However, it's apparent from your reply that you declare tiddly squat so you may well be effectively uninsured. For example a spoiler is right up there for mods that have an additional premium.
Not my problem of course but 'jus sayin'.

If you weren't being a tool yourself then I apologise and I read your intentions wrongly. I thought it strange that you would ask the question to me personally without asking everybody else with a spoiler / wheels / skirts etc. etc. etc. Again, I took it with insideous intentions and replied with another question that one shouldn't expect to answer. Plus I felt you had a chip on your shoulder from previous banter and the 'jus sayin', so 2+2 and all that. Anyway, sorry.Steve84N wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 7:25 pmNo need to be a tool, I was genuinely asking as I struggle to find one who accepts more than a few.

To answer the question, everything I do to my car is declared as should be and is covered under company policy, my dad's company to be specific.
Had you read the first page you would know that I currently have problems of my own, and had I not been covered for anything, which I am, it would be largely irrelevant as I'm currently unable to work, rarely able to get out and the car very very rarely gets off the drive.
I do this as a hobby dude, don't sap all the fun out of it. I'm not the only one who took your question a touch invasive so I'm sure you can understand, but to insinuate and assume from that is a bit rude. I simply don't want to go into my circumstances with a dude I don't know on the internet.
I'm not into having bad blood with anyone and would rather put it down to a misunderstanding between two decent guy's who don't know one another and leave it at that. Peace

Apologies likewise, that's the trouble with written word with no audible tone. To be fair you've done a good job so I'm glad you enjoy it.

Glad that's sorted, I've only just got used to all these emoji things to try and convey expression I still don't think I've quite got the hang of them.
Thanks for the complement, I'm quite proud of it now.

You've done a lot of hard work and the car looks sweet. Where did you source ur front splitter?

I wish I had the time and talent to carry out all those mods, great respect to you dude! Superb effort, awesome results!
I especially like the front of the car, I tried to swap out a front number on my very first car (a clip) but i never got it to fit and decided to never attempt that mod again. Now I'm thinking again.... the M bumper brings a totally different character to the car

The M bumper makes a huge difference and it's not that difficult to do, you just need all the bits and bobs which soon mount up, and they ended up costing a lot more than I wanted to spend on top of the bumper itself. I got the bumper fairly cheap off ebay, it needed a bit of work to tidy it up, but all in all I think it was worth it in the end.

Can't see how they wouldn't - they're amber blinking lights, in the correct location for the vehicle. Can't imagine your MOT would be much more specific than that, surely?carl wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2017 11:52 pmLove these.

It's been a while since I updated this and there have been a few major additions in that time, so I thought I'd do a bit of a photo montage to bring this up to date.

Door handle LED's
A good clean and wax
- decent beading
New alloys
Side skirt extensions
Brake Upgrade
A few more shots
Still waiting on
- refurbed steering wheel
- new tyres
- rear springs
- 294mm rear brake discs
- Carbon fiber side mirrors
