Thought of that. I'm not sure if its held on by pins... + i think it degrades the vts factor.

Mate with the way you have your car looking now id like too see yellow rear badges, perhaps 16v's yellow and yellow front chevrons. Would go well with the yellow s and your calipers
it looks good in my head but dunno what it would look like in the flesh???
if not just stealth it all with black badges

haha the yellow is an idea i spose! it would look different 
i like the all black idea
My plan is to get a dimma grill so no front badge, de badge the rear and take to bodyshop to sort out the holes left from the pins, and leave the 16v badges as they are - i like them lol

Done a few little bits today
- Sorted out the crack in the front splitter
- Got rid of the 16v badges - decided they had to go.
- Got rid of the plastic strips down the doors as they are cracking
- t-cutted the rear badges - eventually they will be off.
Not completely finished, so will post up pics tomorrow

Update 10 - Little Changes
sorted out crack in the front splitter
Removed 16v badges + T-cutted rear badges
Removed plastic trim down the doors - is an absolute nightmare to get the glue off - takes ages, but looks 10x better.
Soon to be lowered!!!

I do use my rear wiper quite a bit to be fair. Useless as it is lol
I know what you mean about the abundance of 'track look' cars on Saxp. But i've thought about doing it for about a year. I like the look and want to start doing track days. I want it to look unique though - same but different if you know what i mean.
Anyway, stripped out the back half of the car on sunday. If i have more than one passanger, i can just borrow the sisters KA 
just got to tidy up cables, remove rear panel speakers and take off the material stuck on the sides of the boot, but its going to leave a nice resin
