Plan is to sort out a new rear bumper for sure. Then get the exhaust looked at. Its supposedly a Powerflow cat back, but the angle of the back box, and the weld where its been joined makes it a bit questionable.

Also plan to go lower at the front, as i think on the small wheels, a bit of rake will help pull off the look. All the coilovers have been free'd off, apart from the N/S/F isn't playing ball. Need some big stillson's on it.

Thinking about going for the spoiler-less look also, but need to get the front down more 1st as i think that will play a big part in the over-all look.

The car is basically as i bought it, but give me time and i'll put my own touch to it. It was your car that made me think of going spoiler-less, but over-all, your car seems to pull it off well. Proper stealth look.

Rear bumper is annoying, its like some1 has tried to paint it with the wrong colour, AND ran out of paint :lol: its hella blotchy. Will get a 2nd hand good bumper, as that way the paint match should be good. Well in theory anyway. :lol:

Exhaust was done by a place thats local to me actually, but the fitment isn't the best. Centre pipe hangs low, dosn't sit tight in the space, and the afore mentioned back box. Not sure if maybe Craig has changed it, but was sold to me as having the Powerflow system so im just assuming its as it was made.
