Nah I wouldn't have attempted that myself lol, got it done at a bodyshop!

I got the hankooks after seeing them recommended on here and I'm very impressed with them for the price, £160 fully fitted for a pair

The diffuser looks good.

 

[Paul]

Diffuser looks brilliant Adam, does it still have the textured feel to it as it looks smooth, I cant really tell from the pics?

I wish I had known about those Hankooks before I bought Contis they look superb!

 

[Jason]

I love that diffuser, did they sand it down before they sprayed it?

Going to get mine done once funds are in place!

 

[daverayner21]

Loving the gloss black diffuser! How much did they charge you?> if you dont mind me asking?
So do you rate those hankooks then? need new tyres all round on mine? worth it?
Thanks

 

[N0ddie]

It feels smooth to the touch, if you get up close you can just see the texture, but it would have cost loads more to get that sanded off first.

No sanding mate, just a lot of cleaning - apparently it was covered in silicon which took the bloke ages to remove lol

Cost £100 in total mate, not bad I thought! Definitely rate the hankooks as an alternative to contis

That looks so nice mate, nr on the same as a 200, all you need now is a nice milltek mate, those bolt of pipes look tiny.

Few small updates - added some blue hose covers to the engine bay:

Also got hold of a complete set of anthracite interior bits, including air vents. Need to get the centre console re painted as it has a few scratches on it, but was a bargain really. Does anybody know the paint code for it??

After:

Opinions on the colour guys? I'm still a tad undecided....
