Well had the J's Carbon fibre Bonnet fitted. Took abit longer then expect with the car staying overnight at the shop but the result great! Very happy





Washer jets fitted and functioning with all the rubber hosing being mounted correctly. Aero catch locks fitted superbly, couldn't fault them
Very happy with what i paid, the panel shop has done a great job once again for me.
Might actually go get another photo shoot done since i suck badly with photos.

2 things left.. waiting on one item still and needing to get the car tuned!

P.S: Probably going to be taking those funky little red arrows off aswell!

Wow, your car looks so good! Keen for the other updates
So jealous... Have you planned on a place to get it tuned?

[wongy]

Nice update! looking awesome, carbon bonnets ftw

[Shakeel]

When's the new suspension coming in

[gunpoons]

Car looks awesome mate, I'm loving the new bonnet, the red and carbon just goes so well together
Could you grab a close up of the aerocatch fitment for me please, I have a set here to fit to my buddyclub bonnet but was worried about the angle/placement of them as I'm trying to fit over existing standard pin holes

Same, me aswell dude, blends in good with the C/F splitter and canards..
Will do, i'll grab some today.. I'll grab a shot from the top and the bottom. You can place them anyway you want dude just the more angle you do it, the more fiddly it gets.. Hence why i just let the panel shop do it for me =)

Photo after..

Can't wait too see another bad picture quality ?
lolz I'm kidding, but that last one was a bit tho?

So after abit of hunting i decided to be a guinea pig and try a new set of H.Drive coilovers that i haven't heard a great deal of feedback in Australia but for the price i think it's fairly worth it. Seems to be a fair bit of feedback around in the Asian market place.
I bought these off Josh @ Sleeping Performance for a fair and good price. The beauty of this was i drifted from the original spring rates to a custom spring at no extra cost so that was a beautiful bonus.
Spring rates are
Front: 12kg
Rear: 16kg

It'll be interesting to see the comparison since i currently have 8kg Front, 10kg rear... My current Ohlins DFV are currently pretty much rooted and could use a good rebuild so i may rebuild them in the future!
Will see how they last on track, will need to dial them in and find a good comfort zone on them considering the separate reservoir and the higher spring rates BUT once i've got them under control i think they'll be definitely become a big advantage,
I'll grab more photos at another time!
