You should take it to Bristol Street Motors where they will stick it on for you with superglue, just like they’ve done on some of my door trim!! :paddle::paddle:
haha i'm pretty sure i'm slightly more capable than them :)

Today I did more tests using the non standard vacuum line routing on the gt350 manifold.
The results are very positive. I have managed to return the braking performance back to stock and got rid of the massive over sensitive on / off braking. It has also leaned out it tick over reducing the need to run an artificially rich fuel map. It doesn’t look as neat in the engine bay but it works!


Note RHD 2017 cars must have a different brake servo to lhd cars. Also I suspect that the brake servo changed for us somewhere in 16/17 as Gibbo ran this very manifold using ford recommended vacuum routing and didn’t report any strange braking changes.

even through tint the oranges are that fucking bright makes you realise just how offensively bright they are from the factory.

I got rid of the ugly number plate holders and used sticky pads.

For the Eagle eyed I have reverted my plates to legal as the police in my area seem to be cracking down on dodgy plates, a couple of my mates have been done, with one going to court over it!

your wish is my command

These are before fitting and prep on it basically give it a good clean down prior to sticking on tape I did a test fitting too but didn't get pictures.

What tint did you use for a rear lights? What's the quality? Does it cover the whole bars surface, without leaving white/clear patches?

its an avery transparent vinyl don't know which one but there's only really 3 types but it is very thick

it doesn't cover the entire bar on all sides because of the shape its impossible to do it without making cuts on the actual lights which they're so soft plastic you don't want to do. also helps ensuring that the orange comes through nice and strong as although it comes through the red as orange the red does obviously reduce its intensity. so we cut it to be similar to the anchor room kit that just covers the visible parts of the bars.

I did a drag race...

vs a v8 (i'm left lane c57, the v8 is right lane c67), V8 has pedders, MPSS' Cb005, straight open exhaust (catback), airaid intake.

I’m sure it’s In the thread somewhere but what spoiler is that? Im looking for one that isn’t tape only as don’t want To drill the bootlid.

I wanted a 350 track pack and found a Chinese copy in gloss black for £100 from a thread on here but it looks like it needs drilling.
