Unusual splitter arrangement there Matt. But looks good. What's it from?

Looks tidy, does that splitter run back under the engine bay or is it just as short one under the bumper

Coz I'd have had to spend a large chunk of cash finishing it. Ironically Ive had to spend a similar amount getting the Widetrack JDM Blob upto par anyway.
It's getting there as Andi can vouch for after following me is his Focus RS

Wheel finish is a bit blingy for my taste but overall a superb job. Car looks great

Still not sure myself, got a great deal on these, was after the same wheel in flat black tbh, it's only paint, might change them later on!

I think the job you've done Matt is superb and the car has a real hard edge look to it. Yet the wheel finish doesn't quite suit. Nice design rim though.

Best of luck with the mapping Matt, what's the brief spec and what figures are you hoping for?
I'm sure Simon will get the best from it for you.
