    If you get a TVS900 new injectors should be added also. It flows a lot more air.

    Beautiful !! This is why you make six trips around the car and put up with an aching back.

    Agree, very nice. The white wheels really set off the paint scheme.

    Thanks Ernesto but I'm thinking of upgrading my brakes. I have the JCW brakes from 2005 but I like the new set up better,

    Once it is applied the car cant get wet for a week depending in the coating you use. I think now some have shorter times.

    Everything I have been reading and seeing on video says the same thing. Seems like an impossible task without a garage. Just might have to keep it ol' skool. I did learn a few things to make the process a little easier though.
