Also think wheels look much better silver

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)

No I have tried both.  I'm puzzled now.  Is there a set of 'Performance' parts that might have been fitted
I'm wondering.  It was a Dealer car.
