what did you do with the RE front end? the bumper was fubared but i'm sure people will be asking what you did with the lights.

kind of curious myself.


nice looking btw, looks clean after your repairs.

It was licked, so i dumped it at my importers, as with the bonnet, the lights i kept though, the thing is, the front bar and bonnet were not the same dimensions as the stock items, so even if i wanted the non pop ups (i didn't) they wouldn't have fitted.

Oh i know the photos are pretty poor too, haven't had a chance to get some good ones yet, but when i get my car back i will.

yeah i know the RE front lights are a set with the front bumper, the stock bumper can be modified to fit them though with a bit of work.

ah but pop up lights own, i tell you that's the most joy i get out of my car, not the td05s, not the suspension, but that time at night when you flick the dial, and up they come....

Just looks so good.

I was this close to buying a twin TD-05 kit for my FC, but opted out. Mind if I ask how you like it, how much power it is making, and how is the response?

Very Responsive.

Due to my tune it's making about 250rwhp.

Once i get a Haltech, should easy be around 400rwhp+ safely too.
