To be honest still thinking to keap the badge ,or not
the wheels was paint in gloss black,as in my opinion the big brake Kit (with white calipers) looks much better on black wheels, still didn't fit on the rear (bbk) .Still waiting pdf delete straight pipe.supersprint centre section,and eisenmann backbox (4x80mm) coming from germany. For the moment car remap upto 360bhp (680 Nm).(pdf delete,still keeping oem pipe)
