Seems like the colour is different in every photo you take - it's fantastic. And thanks for the very regular updates.

The front bumper is a piece of ****! We spent 7hrs trying to make it fit. In the end I just bolted it in and called it a day said that this is RACING!!

Still bits and pieces here and there to do and a little polishing and it's done for now.
The front bumper will be-built next winter for sure. Unless I find something that fits there straight.

Oh, and I did go around the block with the car. Dear god I had forgot how it pulls. Guys were laughing as the car seemed to go more sideways than straight...

Looking at the sideshot...I think I need to adjust the rear wing. The angle is far too agressive. I think I bolted it into the wrong holes.

i have the same front bumper from getty and it required a lot of massaging to fit. actually it was major plastic surgery. i think all the evo stuff is hard to fit since all the getty stuff i have installed in the past has been top notch.

I was going to say that you really have this setup for HIGH downforce

its all trail and error. i had the G type front bumper/splitter on last year and was always wanting more front down force. this led to the rear wing having hardly any angle. you will just have to guess the first time, drive, adjust, etc....

Dam that looks great!

Remember to put a koskenkorva bottle in the glove box at the annual MOT inspection...
They're gonna **** a brick when they see that!

Rauh-Welt who?

Yea, I could drive that on the street.

What are the differences between the GT2, and EVO flares...just out of idle curiousity...just a little wider? Or was it one based on NB, other on WB, I forget.

Can't believe the rear wheels/tires don't fill out those flares as much as I thought they would either.

Absolutely stunning
