Oldfella: its a chargespeed brake duct, they come in a pair but i only fitted one for a cold air duct

Its an XS Power FMIC the kit is superb, the yanks over on NAIOC run them and haven't had any problems and have independently preassure tested the units. One guys running 422whp with one so my goal of 400bhp should be happy with it

me and my brother bolted the kit on in a few hours with no problems. Hacked too much of the bumper though and its got a jagged edge and i'm not really 100% happy with it, so will get a new bumper and re-do that

Will get some engine shots over the next few days

Cliff: Cheers mate

Paul: The splitter isn't on properly, i had to remove two bolts to grind down that i forgot to do. I will have to do it next weekend then the splitter will sit flush again

Simon: They are the APR carbon canards purchased from the States
