UPDATE:

Tinted the taillights and they look much better IMO. Masked circles over each globe so that reflectors etc are still visible from the rear. It's gotten several people I know out of defects so hopefully it works if it comes down to it.
Also added a Slow Life sticker. :lol:

I've began restoration on my old Volk TE37s and have fitted them to the Version R as well. They were literally stained from lack of proper cleaning over the years I didn't own them. Needed to buff them with degreaser and then with a cutting compound to get them to come up white again. Looks so good! :cheers:

Used nite shades... It's easy enough to remove; paint stripper works a treat!

Was more thinking if a cop defects you just get out of the car and peel it off in front of him :lol:

Okay so the G4s are right and royally fucked :lol:

We're sourcing some factory suspension to put in for now (coconut?) and turns out the front end was so bad it's pierced the L/H CV boot which has let all the grease out :x So in addition we're getting a new CV boot, a front R/H tie rod end and a rear R/H wheel bearing :cheers:

Hopefully there isn't much else which needs desperate attention on this car...
