Hi, thanks!
Yes, I've sprayed the whole lot with "Plasti Dip" (removable if needed). The front lip and the intake/gills on the side of the bumper is also Plasti Dipped as shown in this picture.

Looks good mate, Is it easy to use? Thinking of doing my wheels with the glossifier too. Has anyone on here used it with the glossifier and have pics?

I've seen it done on wheels several times, check out NASIOC, looks good but it does not like brake dust so does not wear as well as it does on platic etc.
Search Google Pasticdip wheels and there are loads of pics as below, all are at it including exoctics like Lambos etc.

anyone know about a bluetooth wire connector that goes to the ECU plug, that then works with the Torque app for your phone, it then gives you gauges in your car + other info?

Salsa-king, just a heads-up: if it's an iPhone that you are wanting to use the Torque app on then a 'bluetooth' dongle will be no good I'm afraid! The iOS just simply will not allow for the recieving of that data via bluetooth. Fear not though, instead you need to get hold of a 'wifi OBD2 adaptor/dongle' and they will work.
Something like this for example should:-

That above looks suspiciously like the Kiwi PLX wifi / PBD2 device, at 1/4 of the price!
I use Rev2 on an ipod touch with the PLX wifi plugged in the under dash OBD2 port.
Not looked for android version tho....

I attempted to change my rear disks and pads yesterday and found that the handbrake now binds, I didn't loosen it to remove the disks so I assumed that it would be OK...is it normal to bind with new disks and I just have to wind off the tension? I didn't have chance to mess about loosening it off as I was late for a BBQ, so I just put the old disks back on so I could move my car...
Cheers

It does, doesn't it lol ;-) How are you finding Rev2? When I go down this route I'm thinking of going with Dash Command. I've just got a Pioneer AppRadio so I'll be using that view my data on.
