Thanks both,

yes will have to arrange a meet, i'd be interested to see your tuning modifications. I dont think the car needs any more power, but that doesnt mean i dont want more!

I'll be at the Gravity car show next month if thats of interest to the UK members on here:

Swapped out the rear diffuse from an M5 Replica with Maxton Side Exentisions, to a M Performance variant.

Before:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/3m4cJDQMGZni93r5A (this is now for sale if anyone in UK is interested)

After:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/Addxsf1KfB8u4oaA9

Had also previously swapped out the Starter Button for a Blue variant, and tried some perfromance pedals too.
Didn't like the pedals, so these are for sale also (they are replicas and the fit is OK. the footrest doesnt cover all the foot rest base, but its enough not to notice it when getting in and out)

Pedals before:

Pedals after:

Looks good!

Why not get the footrest cover to match the pedals you already have... I was able to find a matching one on AliExpress. Not the best photo but it's the only one I could find!

that link states these are for LHD only, did you have any issue fitting it? looks like it will work regardless.

No issues with fitting. I put mine off the floor a little so the floor mat could slide in underneath and sit flat
