Nothing really, only mod I removed from my car after buying was the CSL reps. As good as they looked it simply did not drive well at all on them. Might be the tyres or the alignment that was the cause but 18s for me are much more suited.

I bought some tredwear tyre decals (Michelin Supersport) 2 years ago, cost over £100 to get them from the US....keep contemplating fitting them to a new set of tyres but never do....money wasted!

Is it still there?

Perhaps you guys can help me not join this list!
I'm contemplating the boot spoiler for the roadster.
Judging by how many of them I've seen the answer is don't!
I've not seen one in the flesh but is it a mod too far?

Mine came with a boot spoiler, which I really like :thumbsup:
Not sure whether I would have added it myself as a mod just cos of the expense.

It is still there... but...
I just dragged it out of the garage to take a couple of photo's for you, balanced it on the back of my car with a tin of paint. Since I've done various mods since buying it I just thought 'wow, it actually looks quite good now'

I'm going to hang fire on selling it just yet, need to get some opinions. Sorry about that! :slaphead:

I think it does look good on yours.
Especially in the red (mines sapphire black).
I also like your black wheels black hard top combo.
I bought a silver hard top and tried to convince SWMBO that it went with the silver wheels but she wasn't having any of it so it's now black!

Also think I should spend the money on a DLV back box first. That's for the driver. The spoiler is for the spectators!
