Love that colour.
I have to agree with nathg... dump it atleast, dunno if their 16"s? or might just look that way cous of the ride hight. Maybe some bigger rims though 
The spoiler doesnt suit it either but thats my opinion lol
nice ride though mate, well done! and welcome to JC

Yeah it rides like a truck atm lol. Lowering her will be the first thing I'll be doing.
I don't love the spoiler either, but i really don't like the look of them without the spoiler, seams likes something's missing (obviosuly lol).
The catback is a little weak to be honest, it's really boomy down low with a bit of drone, but I'll see how it sounds with cats and pacies, hopefully it'll be a lil more grunty.
We ordered a spare airbox today, so will be trying the 2hole mod over the weekend.

I love that colour. Not a big fan of the chrome. Has been said but the rims could be a little bigger. Let us know how the 2-hole mod goes

Nearly finished the 2 Hole mod, just want to paint it so it looks more genuine lol.
I've got a bit of a problem though, i have bought the genuine VZ Strut Brace, but the bitch will not fit on. I jacked the front of the car, and still wouldn't fit.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Mine didn't sit first and then I gave it a jiggle and it slotted straight on. Didn't need jacking at all. Have't heard of this problem as yet, it should slot straight on.

your supposed to have the wheels off the ground when you fit them so the strut towers relax.
make sure you check the bolts are still tight after a couple of drives.
