First of all a big thanks for DaveyLC for the help
I have got some before pictures but they aren't on my computer yet, I will do it today. But, basically before the bottom of the section of the bumper was smooth and colour coded. Ther was far far too much red on the back for my liking and this is the bit that comes on the top spec one so I got my dealer to source me one!
Much prefer it!
During:
After:
Like I said, i've got some before pictures on a camera that i'll take off today.
Apart from this, i'm really enjoying it, it's such a nice drive, enough power to blast past stuff yet stupidly economical (I've had 600 miles from a tank!). I'd love visually to put some 17s on it and lower it 3-4cm, but, i already catch the front splitter on loads of shit plus the ride on these 55 profile tyres is lovely (compaired to the 40's on the Ibiza!!).
Inside I want to do some playing around, mainly stereo/speaker wise
It hasn't been without it's problems but the dealer (who are directly opposite work!) have been brilliant.

The 155 petrol comes with a twin exit exhaust it's really nice but as i'm too tight to buy a 155, i have to settle for this

I guess it voids warranties if you lop that one off and get Powerflow or somebody to make a suitable tip? Seems to sag a bit lol.
Where were you when I was up at Lemass a couple of weeks back btw?!

Mine are colour coded, don't like the chrome!
It is slower yes, but I can't say I notice it driving. Easily got enough pull.
I want a reeeemap though!
