Properly would = it looking awesome all the time!

Get a tube of Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel and use that for a few weeks, I promise you it will bring out the blackness and shine in those trim panels.

... That's the first thing you notice? None of the rest of the car appeals to you at all? :rolleyes: :D

The Chemical Guys gel will help restore and protect it from weathering, it's like a wax seal on top which lasts quite a while :)

First impression is important, and on that note, the rear passenger window lower rubber trim looks wonky!

Sorry :p

Pfft I'd put even more effort into something "properly" fast, needs to look as good as it goes etc!

i had a very nice 4wd controller on it then FAR more aggressive than standerd and worked off throttle position didnt wait for wheelspin. iv ordered a manual controller from holland but it seems to have disappeared in the post!! it means i set the 4wd anything between fwd and 50/50 split i can leave it permenant 4wd if i want :)

the stock controller is rubbish for doughnuts its fwd until it detects wheelspin and theres a delay before it puts some power (only 20-30%) to the rear wheels. it feels clumsy and lazy when you play in the snow but its doable

3rd gear driftin a bit

2nd gear doghnuts changed to 3rd at the end itl prob do them in 6th lol
