I flashed BM3 stage 2 twice just to be certain. Dont want to be running lean.

I noticed that too after I installed downpipes. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

When your cat free that is 100% expected. You will also get a smell of raw fuel.

You will definitely smell unless you drive with windows up at all times. My gf complains about me smelling like a mechanic when I get home lol

Glad to know. I thought maybe the tune did not take and I was running lean.

I did the same mate!

Tried and failed

Watching the guys that did mine, definitely a 2 person job.

How dark you thinking of going? I sometimes think mine is a shade too dark but then sometimes I like it!

I purchased some vvivid light smoke tint about a month ago just been waiting to do my tail lights but having seconds thoughts about trying to diy it myself now after the other comments 😆 May have to get some help.

Refurbished a set of 17"s in gloss black which I am planning to use this winter, and I am very happy with the result. It cost me £60 to do it, saying this, I'll never do it again

as it is a PITA and if you do it properly takes lots of man hours.

It's a factory grey colour from a Honda wheel. Only satin finish

Thanks!

Just goes to show how much difference a set of wheels can make! I thought it was a different car at first glance

Experimented some more with the 6mm orange vinyl stripe...

Only done one side of the bumper. Will sleep on it and see in the morning.
