A few new pics....ive added new dials and a rear strut brace over the past couple of weeks and given it a couple of coats of polish, more polishing to be done but not bad considering its March.

Mike I've just been having another look. You could get some rear spats to beef up the back so long as they're subtle and don't go any lower than the sills... I made some myself from 2 sets of standard items finished by a bodyshop and I think they're spot on without a kit. Loadsa pics in my garage.

Cheers craig !

Highway those spats look pretty good mate....i have thought about the kit thing again, mabe one day, just want some really subtle.....slighty beefy if you know what i mean.

Getting those spats done....did it cost you about the same as buying some ?

Don't really know mate as they were done at the same time as some arch work and a front and rear respray. I'd guess they would be about the same as an aftermarket pair though, £50 - £75 ... maybe ask your local bodyshop to quote once you've shown them what's needed. The actual parts shouldn't cost anything if you ask nicely here.

Mine are slightly different mate, bit of a thinner straighter spoke. I think you 18's are the same make as mine though.

Get a stick on mate... sleeker look and better airflow to the rad.
