Sounds good, a single 3" dumped at the diff sounds no where as amazing as twin 2.5"

Nice mate, I've seen a few of your updates over at SC.

You ever considered an SS kit on it?

To be honest I'm not the biggest fan of the clown mouth (centre hole) lip.

Just my opinion.

Meh its a genuine series 2 so ide rather keep it...i actually have considered the ss kit but i want to do more work to the engine etc now rather than cosmetic as i think it looks pretty good...yeah twin 2.5" does sound good but blood expensive in comparison!

looks good man, also not a fan of that center insert, could look a heap better if the middle fins were snapped out

very nice.

love the centre lip, would fit it to mine if I didn't stuff up the positioning of the foglights by a few mm.

that colour is all class as well.

great car.
