You'd be right!

+1 Nice work.
I got this plan. It's called 'Save Ass'. And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!

Haha yeah most people wouldn't buy this car to lump around 70+kg worth of sound gear but that's just what in into.

So hopefully today should be today my progressively increasing like of parts gets installed.
I've also added a zerosports carbon belt cover to the list but I don't think it will have arrives just yet, probably early next week.

I also have discovered there is a split in my front lip :( I feel as though one of my dear family members has moved the car and hit the curb that lines our driveway, sadly since I can't direct the blame at anyone individual for certain, looks like ill be forking out for a new lip in the future.
