Finally some progress to report from last week and this weekend.
- Brake discs and pads switched to Zimmermann/EBC. No brake dust anymore.
- Swirl flaps removed. Not so visible improvement, but now I'm sleeping better
- KW Street Comfort installed (unfortunately rear was left 2 cm higher than front, so maybe I should adjust it some day or could it be OK like that
)
- M-Sport package with high gloss black kidneys under installation (side members installed and next one will be the rear bumber...)
Time to go back and start ripping off that old bumper...

Now you need to update some pics to the new pic thread
How do the brakes feel with the new discs and pads? More power?

Ok, time to mod some more, or at least fantasize.. I'm going to be broke because of this car... 
Can someone suggest me a place where I could get a pair of LCI tail-lights? And what is the price for those approximately? Cables I can get from Bruce??
