Some more little bits in that fluorescent green would look pretty cool, although I think they'd have to be subtle for it to pull it off.. Front badge maybe? Will be sitting perfect after that front comes down more..
More pics needed though

I agree with Midnightclub, maybe the badges in green would look good.
Wish I could go that low, looks epic!

Never park next to a Renault Scenic of Citroen Picasso driver...guaranteed to smash their door off yours.
Worst drivers on the road.

Fitting the intercooler this week hopefully then getting a new map on with limited torque so as to not kill tbf clutch but hopefully still near 150bhp.
Also picking up some leather buckets to be fitted/Hodges soon too

It sits a wee touch lower than the subframe, but because it's directly in the middle of the wheels, it's sort of alright most of the time. Unless there's a massive mound right in the middle of the road!
