    Mud guards

    These days normal cars tend to be very low to what they used to be, so making mudguards pretty much obsolete. Front ones will give you a bit of protection it's true, but looks a bit naff. Think estates would get away with it more than saloons! just my two pence worth :D

    Engines

    Recommend the stage 2 off Faddy with EGR delete, BUT with this stage ( as Faddy said ) you deffo do need the paddle clutch as the torque is amazing and the ordinary clutch cannot compete :)

    Hids draining battery?

    When fitting mine I tried the lights without starting the engine, and after about 4 times my battery was about flat. If you read the instructions it should tell you to always start car before switching lights on. :)
