thanks joz,

the bulbs now are between the stock yellow and HID. a cleaner yellow i guess. and the dust here comes so sudden, i wake up one morning and the car is coated with it but wheels a gleaming still. odd. :?

Haha, the reason I said it was funny is since I live in Norway I'm used to snowstorms and super-cold conditions. So when you said there were sandstorms it's just so..opposite.. xD

hello all,

the rear spoiler is finally off, looking cleaner than ever.
coilovers have also been wound down another 10mm front and back. rubbing on tight cornering, but not sure of long term damage.
some pictures of what it looks like these days.
