Yep

Do you have a side profile of your car?

I'm also considering putting something like that but don't want a side skirt. I just want to make sure it does not look out of place with it on, on its own

This is the best i can do at the moment -

I was getting excited in maybe putting the SE bar valance on my NB but then realised, I'll have to remove the mudflaps.

I'll probably get heckled but I like the mudflaps.

Hey Hammer, Gilly71 AKA Adam with the really nice green NB managed to keep his mudflps without any cutting.I think he has posted pictures of his car before. Having seen it in the metal it left only a very small gap where the mudflap overlapped the valance .
Have been meaning to do this myself sometime soon.

I thought about getting the tiny little SE ones.

May still do in sometime in the near future.

They are dumb. What are they supposed to do? You'd think they would have extended them to the bottom of the guard rather than being stuck up in the middle of no where. It looks like a bodgy add on to get it through ADR's like the little triangle bits on early NA mudflaps.

One of the coolest flare kits I've seen. Not big on the rear bumper treatment but the front and sides rock!

Whoa - where did that come from! Where do I get one of these little gems?

Hmmm a P plater with a fooly sick bodykit...the police would love you!

Seriously though most aftermarket suspensions are height adjustable (Koni for example) so it needn't be dragging on the ground and a nice set of slotted rotors/bitey brake pads are P plater friendly. Save the engine mods for later and do some track days with the club and some driving courses in the meantime to have fun with the power you have now.
