j_jza80 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks guys, really appreciate the love for this car. very much mixed opinions on the front lip, still undecided which way to go to be honest. Would like to give the active lip a try but would really want it fully operational with a manual override so I can drop the ride height of the car a little but that's not possible with a front mount intercooler. You could get a shallower intercooler custom made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.m Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Managed to get the brakes on at the weekend and the decals turned up Monday so here they are all finished up. Oh and the wheels do fit over the brakes. The car is due to go into SRD soon for a few bits. I've decided to give the active spoiler route a go and set Lee at SRD the challenge of custom making a front mount intercooler to fit with a fully working active spoiler. Now I doubt this will be cheap but it will be custom and unique which Is a lot of what the car is about. The reason I would like this fully operational is for ride hight. I do catch the current lip occasionally even at my ride hight so to have it retractable would be great. Please note my current set up is not for sale just in case Lee fails miserably!! Picked up an active spoiler at the weekend, was in good condition other than a few marks and scratches on the lip. I removed the lip and wet sanded it down to remove any marks and It's come up pretty well, It was either this or paint it but would rather not paint if I can avoid it. Also gave the hole thing a quick clean because as you all know by now I cant help myself but get carried away when cleaning! This is it all finished up and ready for fitment.

James Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I think it'll be nicer with the active spoiler on Steve. I prefer the RMM with the ears cut, but possibly like the active lip more than the RMM with ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
