Looking very nice indeed pip, looks sick mate. Have to say not feeling the grill tho - black normal chrome badge, black normal black badge or black badgeless with notch smoothed FTW i think

the grill is gonna be something different anyway. i took it off to wash it and thought it would be a good idea to swing it round to dry it and cracked it
i have a badgeless one (well actually 2) and i hated it tbh, but didn't try it with the little notch filled in.
i'm hopefuly in a few months getting the votex kit either smoothed in, or welded on properly and front end resprayed.
mainly to tidy it up as the front end is well stoned lol

update:
new wheels have arrived, been blasted and are primered.
i'm totaly unsure as what colour to have them but the colour of the primer is amazing and think i might just get them sprayed maroon
didn't really wanna show the wheels but i need some help on colour, if not it will just be a shiny silver.
(the primer needs sanding down smooth so the bobbles wont be there)
there a bit wide

They look awesome! Shiny silver would be great, also black, chrome, polished, diamond cut?

i can't wait till i get them on, possibly ordering some adaptors tomor.
so might get a trial pic soon
i'm still thinking silver, or maroon with polished lip.

did u notice a drop in performance after fitting the 17s, mine seem to have cancelled out the remap i had done ?? or maybe im just used to it
also, does the front splitter actually improve handling or is it purely cosmetic?
looking good btw
