Front valance is looking ace. Was a bit sceptical doing it DIY but the results are great, deffinatly worth it. (will tackel the rear valance next weekend.

Also got around to installing the new south performance bost guage and coloum mount, Very OEM look about it.

Also changed low beam, high beam and fog light over to phillips crystal visions.

Hi Stotto. U DIY painted ur front valence? That really looks good. Was it a rough face plastic molding or flat before? I was really contemplating doing some spray painting myself on my ugly black plastic side moldings and front and rear bumpers. But really fear making a mess out of it and then paying more to get it fixed. Was it hard?? How long did it take u?Originally posted by stotto View PostFront valance is looking ace.

One thing, what do these mods stand for in your signature, I see them around, but haven't figured these ones out yet:

Thanks in advance.

BMP - black magic pearl
APR R1 is the revision 1 diverter valve (IIRC)
N75J is a boost control solenoid thingy ?

2. haha, there you are, you found them pretty quick. Yeah, those visually smoothed out the whole back of the car way better than I had imagined. I've cleaned the area and bolted them on quite well, so I'll just have to see if any condensation appears now. If it does, I'll just have to cut them open and silicone them back up, but that'll let me get at that white writing, which is putting me off anyway.
