Yes

But whats the point in having something that you like but wished you had got what you really wanted.

Just the usual Prodrive inflation i'm afraid

Forest

Firestorm is off,

PPP is on - You need it !

Mudflaps - They can now get all colours again but Blue. So its a matter of being patient

Yes the TSL grill

Saw your car having the ppp done in the workshop. Nice car m8. Wish id had those wheels on mine now instead of the gold ones.

Why have you taken off the firestorm?

adhy****

The Firestorm is OK for knocking about but drives you mad on a long run. I may keep it and use it for shows and meets n stuff

As for the gold wheels. I couldn't be doing with em. Had gold oz's on the last car and wanted to be different this time.

I spent ages looking at wheels and kept coming back to the most expensive ones!! so thats what I had

Took em more than a day to fit the PPP but has made loads of diiference.

I am selling my old centre TSL decat section if your interested. Releases a bit of power.

You are not kidding there, I have a silver STI 8 with silver FF7's and they look awesome. However I have kerbed both left hand wheels in a pot hole no less. It was that or a head on with a bl**dy great 4x4 that decided it's side of the road wasn't big enough.
