I didn't quiet know and understand that rubber could make this much of a difference. I am looking forward to the rain now, since a lot of people say that I will be slipping and sliding all over the place.

My thoughts: It could be due to the heat that we have had recently but the Cup 2s stick so much to the road that it almost makes you feel like are gripping too much. Nothing but pleasure cornering nowadays.

I thought the pleasure was in power sliding ... where is the fun in being glued to the surface. Unless you're intending in adding a baby capsule in the near future. It all makes sense now. You're a long time planner

Gents,

I have had some serious quality work done by the boys at Red Diamond Autocare. They took real good care of the car and used nothing but the best products on it.

They are local Perth boys that I would highly recommend
Ring/text 0439 932 626 if you are interested.

Thank you

I was a little concerned given that the body paint is Jerez and not jet black.
I also thought that too much black is too mafia like. Now you put an East European bloke in a blacked out car and stereotypes prevail...

That aside, I do quiet like what it looks like right now

Car looks great Dzenko. Where did you source the front splitters and mirror covers from, are they genuine?

Many thanks.
I got everything genuine from ecs tuning. I am a bit pedantic about the part selection out there. I am sure that there are plenty of good quality aftermarket parts out there but I sleep better when I buy genuine.

Many thanks for the feedback.
Black vs. Silver is a true matter of opinion in this instance. I tossed it up many times before I ended going down this path. You may be surprised to know that there is an equal amount of compliments for the black too. In my case it was just my way of expressing myself.

And that is as it should be!

I have been looking for pictures of Jerez black with Carbon skirts and diffuser. The carbon almost fades into the paint of Jerez but on the pic you have attached it looks like yours pulls it off.
Any chance you could post more?
