its OK, I only actually notice when I think about, out on track I seem to forget about it but my son always reminds me. ~You seem to notice more on the motorway on the way to the track as you can't get comfortabke for long - short 20 - 30 minute blasts at full concentration you forget
Had a couple of little ideas knocking around in my head so I thought I'd give them a go! :lol:
First of, I wanted to mod the front grill, bought one of eBay for £2.70 (+ postage!) was originally just gonna remove the badge and attempt to bond in another slat, but tried something a little different in the end. The grill may also be changing colour at some point too!
The other mod was to change the cold air feed intake in the lower grill from a round aluminium one to a rectangular offset one. Won't really make any difference but again this may also change colour at some point!
:grin:

Nice little touches there mate!
Really nice idea with the air scoop! the more air the better. If I run one it would be hidden further in as I dont have the lower lip. Would you mind saying where you got it, the size and how many pennies it cost? :grin:
Nice badge too! don't worry I wont be doing the same, one thing though you need to paint the 'RS' orange, the 'puma' green.

Cheers mate! Bought it of eBay (as usual!) they weren't cheap though, about 19 quid for a bit of plastic! Come in different sizes though. Not sure on the colours yet as I may do something with the grill itself! :lol:

You should look at a starting a business in design & technology. If you still remember the old adverts an "ology" was always a plus :lol:
Cheers mate! lol yep, I'm old so I do remember the 'ology' adverts! & don't laugh, I do actually have an honors degree in design, although I did get it 20 years ago! :lol:

Quite like that grille, something different always stands out. Cars looking great now!

I sometimes wish I had the balls to do an 'all out' trackday car like yours! But I also still like the show side of things, so it seems to stand somewhere between the two! Not a bad thing I guess. :lol: & I do like pottering with it and coming up with little different mods to do, both visual & performance based :grin:
ps & it may stand out even more soon, as those bits may become orange!
