Thought I'd post a few pics of the latest mods.
Got a carbon fibre quad diffuser from CA Automotive in the UK, and then Friday custom quads.
They look and sound great. Not mega loud but more than enough noise as the revs rise.

In addition I got 20" ASA AR1 alloys and Falken FK452 tyres.
No spacers are needed just hubcentric plastic rings which came with the wheels.
The rear lip is huge!

The specs are:
ASA AR1 9X20 5-120 ET18 Black/polish
ASA AR1 10,5X20 5-120 ET26 Black/polish

Tyres
245/35 ZR 20 Falken FK452
285/30 ZR 20 Falken FK452

Cheers
Paul















Looks great !!! Was the fitment for the rear diffuser good? I ordered a carbon diffuser from ebay and struggled for a while before getting it to fit only OK. Would be interested in finding a better fit diffuser....!

I love those OEM splitters. It makes the M-Tech kit super aggressive! Now for some m mirrors...

It wasn't perfect. The carbon is really nicely done but for a strange reason doesn't wrap around the edge (apparently its hard to do, I was told by CA Automotive) so my garage colour coded the lip silver and then used a matt black sealant around it to fill any gaps. I'm happy with it now.

Is that an aftermarket black front splitter or did you just have the mtech front one painted black?

They are replica mtech front splitters. Got them off ebay from Germany.
