WRONG

The skirts and rear lip are Euro but the front lip is a custom UKDM lip with extra fibreglass moulded onto it.
its supposed to look like the 'Type R Style' lip

Cheers for the comments. Happy with how its came out. Can't tell where hes blended it in

The mobile guy who came to do it was talking to my mate at the garage. Apparently it was a right pain to do as when he was mixing the paint after he had primed it, the primer reacted and he had to rub it all back and do it again.

Just read it all through.

Can i get a front shot of your car? Want to get a look at how the number plate sits and looks compared to the overall look of the car if you don't mind

Ruined all that touch up work i did.
I bet they used a smart repaired like me. For it to react i bet he never dried the primer off properly.

Looks great.

Rear caliper seized again this weekend, so I took it back to the garage. This time they replaced the caliper so hopefully that's sorted the problem now.

I do apologize. How come I never knew that?

Took a visit to Performance Autoworks yesterday for a few bits
New o2 sensor as it was throwing a CEL code
New spark plugs as they needed changing
and an Alignment check.
The rear was pretty much spot on but slightly out of line with the front. Rich was going to adjust it to line everything up but the rear arm adjustment was SO corrorded that there wasn't even any thread there anymore so wasn't worth the risk.

Ran up the strip @ santapod at Japshow this weekend.

15.2
Was my last run of the day aswell! Wans't going to do it either, but when I came round from the previous run and saw no ones queing I thought I'll get 1 last run in before heading home. Glad I did

Nice one bud, won't be long till you're in the 14's.

Good catching up yesterday. Getting really jealous coming to these shows and seeing all these nice ludes like yours and people driving and enjoying them.
