I prefer the facelift headlights, not too fussed about the rear lights.

Engine mounts inserts fitted :smile: Instantly I can feel a difference to the stiffness and especially noticeable when coming off the throttle then straight back on your aware that the engine isnt rocking as much.

The extra vibrations when stationary I can live with and its made the exhaust sound a bit more aggressive :twisted:

Went out this morning and when I got home I found one those notes from Royal Mail saying my package (jdm arb) is at the collection office please wait 48 hours before collecting. Think i'll pay them a visit later on the off chance I can pick it up.

Got bored so ive washed, dryed and gone over some of the minor blemishes with P1 Nanocomposite Polish by G-techniq. This is the only polish that seems to get rid of minor sratches by hand.
