Nice job - really sharpens up the look of the FTO.

Next job is to lower the FTO - and get rid of the aftermarket front indicators - was one set not enough?

she's gettin lowered and tinted next weekend, ordered the lowering springs from rota rims in blanch where i got the wheels. do you think i should trust them to fit them or get paul nolan to do them. fella they let fit my wheels was a bit of a moron! :smt033

Power do you mind me asking how much you paid for the springs? Also, what brand did you get?

Nice job on the calipers by the way.

€170 CJ , they dont stock them in the shop, abt 2weeks to order them. cobra lowering springs. not too bad considering the cheapest i could find on the net were 140 sterling before delivery

its pretty neat. better looking than the standard one. thinking of getting one as mine spoilerless. people say its better without .wat ye reckon

i think the version r spoiler is well suited, personal preference really. im looking to get a bodykit and respray done in the next few months but not replacing spoiler at all, cant find any aftermarket ones that i like as much!

well if you do find an aftermarket one you like. any chance of havin first call on your spoiler :lol:

Great looking car - paint looks in top class condition.

Agree - you have to lower her a bit. I'll vouch for Paul nolan to do the work as will (I hope) many others here.

Whats with the extra indicators - they look a bit ????

The only gripe I have with the vR spoiler is that it's impossible to see out the back - on the other hand it tends to block glare from cars behind you at night.

by **Dragonheart** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 11:50 pm

I wouldnt say its impossible to see out the back, its impossible to see the face of the driver of the car behind all right though.

I find that too... the blade is perfectly positioned, very handy.

dont know if its anything to do with the car coming through england, fella i got it from said thats why the after-market fog light on back bumper, apparantly legal requirement over there! i certainly won't be puttin them back on when i change the bumper, thats for sure :lol:

by **stevec** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:36 pm

In England you need a rear fog light to be road legal - not a requirement here. Can't figure the indicators though. Are they wired as indicators - i.e. flash at the same time??
