Got a bit side ways a few times but great day out!

Quick change from this

To this

Basically from Matt to gloss rings

Am really thinking about gloss black window trim, badges and grill surround as well as all grills to offset against the Avus

Am stumped on the wheels though, they need a refab and not sure whether to go 8au or gloss black? Any pics or ideas

Spacers and springs for a drop on order

Quick Q, is the K&N panel filter very different in flow to the OEM filter? I.e is it highly recommended?

Looks good bud. Looking forward to seeing the stance with 10mm all the way around.

late response... But the or filter is very large and very good. K&N might make a small improvement but not much. At least you don't need to replace it every year, so that's definitely a bonus. The JHM guys always put K&N filters in their cars. One of those every little bit helps mods, but not truly a game changer.

I've always just run stock filters, changed annually

Few quick and not very good pics of the rear spacers installed
All going to change soon as I am taking wheels in next week to become matt black ala pic
