Not only do I keep up with this thread I've also seen you've got an insurance quote for a Mk2.5 ST. Thinking of making a change?

Lol that was just a 'what if' moment when I wasn't enjoying the car! That is all.

Tried installing the springs, got stuck at a bolt which didn't want to move at all. Off to the garage in the morning then I suppose ?

I think you've found my wig!

Spoiler is with the body shop as of lunchtime, I'll get that back on Thursday. Springs will hopefully have been fitted by then too so it's looking like I'll have some pics to post on Thursday afternoon :)

Looking forward to it. These are the two biggest mods yet on this car of mine :)

Got the spoiler back at lunchtime. Boy does it look good !

Can't wait to get the car back from springs fitting so I can go home and install it :D

It makes a big differences to the profile of the car, much better.

I really liked it on my mk3.

I've just got her back there. Man it looks good. Not too low and not too high. I'll get comparison pics up later but it's looking sweet. Very pleased :)

Ok better pics this time :)

Handling is a lot more responsive. But stiffer than stock but that's to be expected. It's by no means uncomfortable though.

These are the two biggest updates to this car yet and I must say they were worth the wait. One happy boy over here :)

Looks much better :)

Looks good, glad you're happy with it.

Cheers lads. Yep well pleased. They'll probably drop another mil or two when they settle in but even at that, the car looks awesome the way it is.

Looking awesome mate

I highly recommend it! I found it improves the handling and makes the car sit a lot flatter around the bends and the ride is firmer but not uncomfortable. It also looks good!

Thanks. Next thing is tints, getting them done next Saturday. I will eventually get the full ZS kit but I'm toying with the idea of colour coding the abs skirts and lower section of rear bumper. Also a custom exhaust at some stage.

You could colour code the skirts and bottom of rear bumper but don't forget the bottom two pieces of the front bumper. A proper job will cost you £200. That's what it cost me but it was well worth it.
