Like this picture mate
How's the hydraulic clutch, it's std in the 407 but didn't feel like the same bite point all the time..is that me not used to it yet or..?
Cheers mate.
Hydraulic clutch is sweet. It's slightly lighter than standard, but it's constant. When the exhaust gets hot, there is no interference. Sooooo nice to use now.
And cheers C.A.R. But trust me, I've ah a gutfull of my drive, I won't be doing any more for a while

I presume you mean on the bumper? If so; one side got fitted, ran out of time to do the other. It got put on the to do list, and that was about 3 months ago

My car was front ended before I bought it. If you look carefully (I don't know if the pictures will show it) there are small dents either side of the bonnet badge. Its the right angle bracket that fixes to the slam panel, and the grille then bolts to. That has bent down, pulling the grille down. Reason I never bothered bending it back was I had a new slam panel to fit, that Niall then stole and butchered to fit boost piping

Some random productiveness tonight. Yes there are more important things to do, but form over function and all that.
Whited the writing on the tyres. Surprised myself tbh. Really taken to it.

Although in fairness it is quite misleading. Its anthracite. The ring around the nozzle shows the colour.

So the car made it all the way to FCS and back, without skipping a beat. Really impressed.
