You can see the difference in the quality of steel they use vs vauxhall. I got a long middle one instead of a back box because the back box causes alot of restriction whereas that middle bit doesnt because its just a pipe with a bit of padding around

I was going to but see the little bump above the tip? There wouldnt be one on the other side so it would look weird and also i wanted performance so had a really long middle box rather than a back box so its just a straight pipe

I've never noticed that bump before.

Well at least it wouldnt of been that noticeable and thats the exact reason why the biturbo/1.6T bumper with dual bumps is so sought after

So i have done quite a bit since last posting. I have put groot up on the dash
I have put a dtuk tuning box in the car. It didnt seem to do much but after playing with the settings it seems to have done the trick! Its such a feisty car now but it likes to change down two gears instead of one when i kickdown (auto) so i have played with the pedal box to basically increase the distance that i need to push for the second gear shift down which has worked so very happy with the result up to now
I put a rear lip protector on which will help if the gf accidentally slips and the wheelchair drops and it matches the colour scheme i was going for
Also put on the dash cam sticker to hopefully stop people getting up my ass a spare wheel and jack kit with the foam and tools is on its way i need to paint the callipers when that comes so i can test the spare wheel while my other is off got a few splitter fins which im not sure about but will see when i test them on trying to get one of those vauxhall rubber boot protectors which i think will be alright bought some masking tape! I KNOW RIGHT! Its for the brake calipers when i get round to it and sorry for the long post but no potato here

I have done a couple of mini mods to make my life a bit easier. I have put one of those things to stop stuff falling in between seat and centre console so it stops that ballache when i it happens. also put a metal and rubber cover onto the place where my foot rests so it matches my vxr pedals and also stops my foot from slipping when it spasms i have received the spare wheel tools in the foam so thats good and a few more that i shall be doing. Stay tuned

Mate the amount of times i have dropped my phone down the gap is ridiculous! It stops crap getting down there aswell so when you clean your car its easier aswell matches the leather nicely aswell
