the second splitter you got looks absolutely amazing!!!!! if I had this car I would definitely do this! boosts resale value by a ton! and it didn't really looks like tremendous hard work, but sure was worth it!

Hi Ric. Just found this vid whilst searching for something else 159 related. Still own this car. You did it proud mate. Having the roof done again when my mate can be bothered to fit me in. I don't use it much but it doesn't matter. It's just nice having it on my drive!

They are the original fog lights just with LED halos stuck on them. The halos I purchased off eBay, you just need to work out the diameter of the fog light and then glue the halos on. They were wired to a DRL controller that kept them on all the time unless the engine was switched off just like normal DRL’s

I wouldn't. If you are taking it up to high speeds. I prefer the factory german engineered suspension but i take my jtdm upto 240kph sometimes for a low out
