ye i like the scoop too, should bring a bit more fresh air in the front, was thinking of making it light up inside the scoop like night rider thing going on, for night time but dunno whether it would be tacky or not what you all think, Cheers Martin T

Ahh come on, no light!!! I have some small blue LED's that you could tape on to the underside of the bonnet so they shine through the scoop!! lol

manages to get sum more din today, fitted both rear calipers and did the rear brake lines, ended up replacing all the rear lines from where it splits off to eaah side due to the bolts not coming undone and the brake line looked abit perished so just thought mite aswell change it while im in there, and some big bird in the sky decided to take a dump on my car i must admit those segull have good aim, look at how he drew lines on the car, , here is the evidence. went round to fitting the front calipers but i havent got the bolts to hold the calipers onto the spindles, just ordered them of M7 like, really dodgy moving tht car around with no brakes whats so ever, oh the white stuff is wax lol reason behind was just to get sum wax behind the wing beading etc like beofre fully bolting the wing, thought it mite add sum extra protction i dunno but wax wont hurt it so Very Happy...
