    Looks great ! I am scared of breaking my clocks, i would purchase a set if i knew someone who could fit them, mine wouldn't be accurate by the time i had finished fitting them

    Thats good, mines a k-tec too. I was worried whether there was going to be enough space, because as you know, its alot wider than an o.e cooler!

    Looks much better.

    Like this car very much indeed. Looking forward to seeing the decals put on.

    Just in case you want to remove the over-boost switch (as I notice you don't have it connected atm), you can buy a grub screw with an allen key fitting very cheaply that will neaten up that intercooler pipe.

    Awesome door cards

    Are they done by Phoenix? When you send them do you have to remove and clean the old material off? Oh and how much for a full set (front and back)???
