some people are crazy (I mean Hurdy).
If I had the cash for luxuries like carbon fiber bonnet and mirrors, I'd buy something different from GTI instead, some sportcar, and not a hatch with sporty aspirations.

Agreed....I'm crazy :laugh:

Only thing is, if I bought a full on sportscar, I'd still want to mod that and then you could say that I could have bought a supercar instead. I'd end up with a modded Bugatti or Reventon Lambo :undecided: :evil:

Now is it just me.. or does it look like your bonnet isn't shut all the way down in that last pic? Could be due to the reflections, or just a little alignment required.

i agree? hurdy???

how much lighter is it then?

It looks okay from the fit and shut lines :undecided: I'll have another look, but I'm pretty sure it's okay.

The standard bonnet weighs 13.6kg and the CF one under 8kg. When you unlatch the bonnet it goes up on its own from the bottom now :cool: :cool:

Oh and it looks as good under the bonnet as on top as it is double skinned :cool: :drool:

like i said it's probably just the shadows and different shades of silver, but look around the drivers headlight in that last pic.

Hi RR,

I ended up leaving the rear DTM lower spoiler as Justin agreed that it wouldn't fit an ED30.

That means I have another £500 to top up my modding fund.

Can't wait to see your OSIR lower spoiler on :smiley:

Had a closer look and it does look a little up (about 3mm). I'll have to look and see if there is any room for adjustment downwards. While I'm looking at it I'll take pics of the underside.
