I figured after the weekend id throw this together quickly seeing as some of you probably saw the car at FCS
I've had it for about 4 months now and its had a few little things done with it so far but nothing major is planned just trying to get rid of all the little bits that are bugging me bodywork wise
Its lowered 50mm all round
carbon wrapped rub strips and outside door pillar bit?
Aero wipers
Wind deflectors
M3 Mirrors
Lockwood Dials
and cat back Powerflow s/s pipe with a 4" tip
also got a second 12v socket hidden away
So not a huge amount done so far but hopefully that will be changing
Got some crystals to fit (thanks sam) and then plans are for some cyclones, s16 blue carpets and a few small interior tweaks for now

Yes mate sounds nice but that powerflow was epic on my 1.6 it used to spit flames and pop like a gud un so i can only imagine how epic it is on ur 6
Thanks for the info mate i was thinking of doing my b pillars in carbon wrap but wasnt sure if i would be better removing the old stuff first or just going over it

As said, drop the 'clearance special' alloys and it'll be a good'un. Black masks would look sweet too, if you can find some...

Car looks pretty nice tbh. Don't go with Cyclones though. Get some Black Lasers on there and it will look awesome!

Lazers + ph1&2 = win
Lazers + ph3/gti = epic fail,
have lazers on the mrs ph2 and looked good, we just converted it to ph3 and they just dont look any where as good any more,

Just bein think tip means nothing its all about the internals of the boxes. With a power flow im guessin you have no mid box. Where as id say get one with a mid if you want to keep the noise down
Edit: as i said get a scorpion
Edit edit: you havnt got a mid box. If you took it back to to power flow and asked them to put a mid box in you would get a big reduction in noise
