To be fair... That's part of the splitter's job.
So today, had the Cup2's fitted.
Went from 285/30/20 and 255/35/20 MPS4S to 305/30/20 and 265/35/20 Cup2's.
Lets see how they do!
Also, on the splitter front, new one turned up, along with new skirts and rear valance... because.. why not.

Yea, some idiots keep sending me btc to spend for them
So a first impressions review of the Cup2s.
Jesus these things are another level in the dry. Even in the cold, as long as its dry they just stick to the road and dont let go. I cant wait to push them in warm/hot and at pod. They really do seem to put the MPS4S to shame here.
The wet+cold is a bit less confidence inspiring, as in, the MPS4S has them licked here, have had TC kick in a few times, though it has been very soggy and cold to match, so maybe summer rain wont be too much of a problem.

So front splitter + undertray off and the temp 2015 one went on... first time got a real look at the carnage:
New splitter sprayed and ready to go, just lining it up to make sure it all looks good...
Perfectly snug, rivets in place ready...
In they go, perfect fit
Top side done.
Flip it over, bottom side perfectly lined up.
And a comparison
Just going to get it PPFed/Spray filmed before fitting, but otherwise ready to go!

Oi, it's been a week since Monday!
Haha! Ok.
So the problem with keeping your paintwork looking top notch leaves you with thin coatings (ceramic coatings etc) which keep it looking clean but offer no real protection against stone chips and other paintwork damaging objects. Simple fact of life of car ownership.
The only other solution widely adopted is PPF, which, depending on your eye, go from "ok" to "shocking". Even the best PPFs out there have orange peel effect, and often the application is expensive, and looks bad with visible edges etc.
For some months ive been chatting with a company called Ngenco about their paint protection product, not a wrap, no edges, no orange peel (can be detailed out if any does occur) but the best part is they can add color to it kind of like pastidip, but instead it comes out looking like factory paint.
As such im currently waiting on them to spray my new splitter with their clear protection. And they are looking at mixing up the Titanium color to match the car, effectively restoring it back to new, but without the cost of a 15k Glaucerit paint job.
In other news, just purchased 7 barrels of 102 octane fuel.
Wait... what... where the **** am I going to store those

No idea but make sure you've got a few 'no smoking' signs handy!

Impressive looking stuff that spray on protection!
I'm considering getting just the front bumper and lights of mine done with Xpel Ultimate, just to mitigate against the worst stone chips, but it's still going to cost ~£350!

This would probably be ~£200? They have my splitter to do a clear protection right now, ill let you know how it looks once its out of the oven in a few days time.
