Ive just noticed that you have splitters fitted, you can hardly see them in black, what are they made from?

Yup :D there's a fair bit of modding to do to make them fit and they wouldn't work with the mk5 bumper due to them sloping. Your more than welcome to pop round and have a better look if you'd like to see what works involved :mrgreen:

It definately done what it needed to do. I did treat myself to a half decent auto mask as well and that made the world of difference. I've been looking at welders in a local shop at around the £400 mark prob a bit of overkill but I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for :mrgreen:
