Looking very cool mate I really like it....The lads don't like the colour scheme but I think it's deadly.....Best of luck with it mate.....

EDIT: Just realised they're the wheels I've been looking at the past while still wondering if they are worth getting though. Might not look well on the black FTO. €449 for the lot.....

Looks well Dan.
And leave the colour scheme, its different and will def turn heads. Doesnt look like some schemes that fellas do where it looks like they couldnt find a matching bonnet or boot so just got any one.

nice one Dan, and fairly quick work getting her! Liking the front bumper too.
For what its worth, my own opinion is you could just leave the bonnet CF, and respray the boot and sideskirts. But again, its a very personal thing, so the main thing is enjoy the car, I've no doubt you will!

I like the overall look of the car, especially the front bump. I think the black skirts take from the look though.

Apparently, the converter is connected to the speed sensor which is on the top of the gearbox differential housing, and has 3 wires coming out of it.

Congrats Dan! Bought some a-pillar gauges off PmacFTO ages back, still to be fitted, but one of these days... :oops:

Looking forward to checking it out at the next meet!
