Hiya Rob! Yeah, I was just jesting a little....the driving lights in the Valance is what I meant, just needs straightening up, a couple of washers either side of the thread might do it.

 

I'm only nit-picking, looks a good motor for the money. :rolleyes:

You can get away with std management on pretty lump cams, not perfect but not much different to std, how much worse can the idle get :lol: I'm running a 282 catcam fine on std moronic management.

Nice motor mate :wub:

 

Has it had phase two bumpers and trim fitted as it they look quite dark for ph1.5 items?

 

For comparison, here's a pic of mine...

 

...and that's with plenty of bumper snot on to make them look darker.

 

Also, I agree on moving the number plate into it's original position :)

Nah mate standard bumpers, its just those pics make them look darker, they're the same colour as yours mate.

 

Ive cut down the reg plate and placed it in the recess now.

 

I would have loved to actually get the wheels diamond cut but i was doing it on the cheap and they look quite convincing as silver :D
