That fd2 diffuser looks good.. Do you have to do much work to get that on.
The diffuser is not fitted onto the car just yet but the plan is to cut out the rear lip and bumper and slot it into position before bonding it on. Meanwhile the lads at planet performance are fabricating an under tray using aluminum sheet for the front bumper and the rear to make good use of that diffuser. Once the project is complete i will post some more photos.

Did you try using a heat gun. That usually does the trick with some elbow grease and maybe mild paint thinners 👍

I had a hair dryer, the problem came because the previous owner(s) have picked the hell out of the stickers! I'm gonna try the WD40 trick at the weekend

Done valve clearances today and painted the rocker cover white



Quite happy with the results bar a run. But much better than before.

Fitted new disks, pads and headlights. Screws on the disks were a major pain and had to be drilled out due to heat rust!

Fitted new stickers, yes I know they're for a blue car but for the price I got them and how desperately they needed changing, I'm happy for now :)

Looks great Alex, do like white rockers, simple and makes the engine bay look fresh, just need to keep it clean, I hate seeing the slightest speck of dirty on mine!
