Cheers mate - it is good to hear. It is difficult to get across just how much thought has gone into the car. There are many factors behind the FRP (and why I have not gone FRS/1.8t); admittedly the decision was rushed as an opportunity presented its self that I could not turn down.

Once I can motivate myself, I will sit down and write a detailed update to walish 8)

My new front end arrives tomorrow!!!! - can't wait

For now I took some pics after cleaning my car:
I had a play with some of the more 'extreme' results HDR images can produce - not entirely happy with this one; it looks a little burnt.



Stopped playing around so much:





Some normal pics:
(I love the way I removed the plates from all the pics except this! Doh! )
