Got my car back this evening. Passed 2nd time around

Failed because of emissions, rear drums and my HID's. They couldn't get a beam pattern, which I was half expecting. I removed my rear LED's and BMC CDA pre test. Luckily after a good service it passed.

Now get the fun of putting it all back together

hello mate just wondering what it is you have done performance wise to you engine bay and what you think of perfomance hoses?

[lolhoward]

Hi,

All i've done is added a BMC CDA induction kit. The hose I have got feeds cold air direct to the filter. Also got HID ballast's in the bay for my lights but thats not a engine mod. I haven't got performance hose's but doubt they'll do much unless on a highly modded engine.

Cheers mate, thanks

[Kristof_clg]

It's looking really good!

I like the red calipers... maybe i'll do that on my car someday


I know you've heard this a lot, but... lower it! cheers!

That really is one of the nicest mods on here. Good workmanship, doesn't look chavvy, just a really decent set of understated and high quality mods.

Top job.
