Maybe the issue is that the background isn't normally the same colour as the text, perhaps try painting the background and spaces the same colour of the car?

Yeah, was going to do that but could not be arsed to mess around with it. I will paint them all black I think, just looks better.

Took it out for a drive this afternoon and the difference is definatley noticeable in the ride since the Konis have been fitted. My interior looks great too. These old GTi's certainly have bags of offer still eh. Lovin it!

paint the in-between bits black or red if you can patch the car's colour and see how it looks  :cool:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
