| ye a few people have asked me about the smooth licence plate, personally i aint keen on the original recess, i know it looks a bit bald at the back at the mo, but i reckon with that spoiler once its slammed it will look quite good, but will decide when thats done whether i keep it or not. Ye that front lip is practically the same as i bought for mine, and will probably get those rear corner lips as well, but those pics do make me wish mine was in white now | |

| iv gotto say i think with the recess will look loads better, sheds any of the ricer image, plus having the plate anywhere else will look wrong. imo.
cant wait to see it dropped | |

| yeah i will look at the number plate recess once its lowered with the spoiler and make a decision. I havnt noticed the header being bent to be honest but your right it does look like it in the pic, i will have a look at the weekend, it shouldnt be however, its only around 6 months old and was new when i bought it | |

| if its bent and kinked inwards it can cause high compression/irregular flow in the chamber/exhaust,.least thats what this ebook on engine porting and polishing says, mind you its american and bleats on about how great their engines are. (total BS) only noticed it cause i was reading it and looking at that picture, think you need a nice shiney 4-2-1 anyhows lol! i should get back to spending my own money. | |

| lol,
Its funny you should mension yank engine books, I had jury service ages ago (boring) and decided to read a book, what better book than one about engine building/blueprinting (got it from a show), tbf was quite interesting, and i learned alot of what to do to make an engine perform better. Only thing was that it was about yank engines, when i came to look into getting things done to my engine (h22 at the time) it came with nearly everything mentioned in the book from the factory. lol. | |

| nice shiney one ha cheeky buggar it was nice and shiney when i bought it, put cos of the bodykit and the large mesh gap in the bumper it got attacked with all the crap and its really discoloured it, i could probably rub it down and polish it back up, it is still shiney at the top where it joins the head, its just halfway down and the bottom that looks crappy now lol | |

| ye that kits nice, but the front lip ive bought looks practically the same as that, so just need the back pieces, dnt think i will bother with side skirts. yeah handles better, not as wobbly, had a class race today round cannock chase against a caterham lol. Think it was a 1.4 rover k series engine tho, cos it wasnt loosing me as it should of done, only really loosing me cos he could take corners so fast, so cant wait for my eibach's to be fitted | |
