Default A bit of spit and polish on the Type R.

Spent the last two evenings having a good spring clean so thought I would take some up to date photo's.

The HKS Hypersilent is perfect of me in my old age I'm done with the more vocal systems

Your not the first to suggest the rear fog mod perhaps I should get around to doing it

I done the fog light mod on my 22B with an LED bulb in the OSR reversing light... Much better than having that dangly thing!!!

Must say Kev the car is looking stunning mate... My 22B is soooooo dirtier than yours right now... I think Taylor would agree after seeing it in pieces the other day, LOL!!!

I'll have to have a peep at your rear fog mod

I'm sure the "B" will be back to its normal stunning state before long
