Do you mind pointing me in the direction of the name of the Facebook group? Haven’t seen it in the few I’ve looked at

Stuck the GoPro on and tried to record the intake and exhaust noises today. Hard to record without any distortion but sure.
Also had a play on the drive but didn't last long as the Yaris slid down the drive with all 4 wheels locked towards the Range Rover. Had to steer in to a kerb/bush to avoid a collision
Said kerb/bush

Sounds good bud!
I would have thought the extra Xmas weight in the drivers seat would help the traction in your drive

Pot, kettle, offshore worker lol
Haha, yeah definitely brings out child behaviour, much to the wife's disgust
Addictive noise! Haha no, luckily the tyre shoulder protrudes just enough, though I want to refurbish them anyways. Few wee scratches on the PPF I think just, but better than hitting the Range Rover. Never would have lived that down
Actually hit the same bush twice, I'm some pilot

the hankook all seasons I fitted are huge improvement over the pilot sport 4s. It can actually get up a hill nowAmazing the difference a set of winters make

Wanted a splitter for the front for a while. Liked the TRD one but wasn't keen on the wee bits up the arch. But then the more I seen it the more I liked it. Plus it's kinda OEM so knew it would fit right. So finally bit the bullet and bought one.
Sits about 12mm lower and a good bit further out the front, hopefully don't rip it off up some back road!
Sideskirts I would've been happy with any of the Maxton ones, but they come matt black where the TRD splitter is gloss. So TRD skirts were got as well. Perfect fit and the standard skirts even have the holes pre marked on them for drilling.
The splitter comes with a lip spoiler as well, all part of the on track development if you believe the videos they made Anyways, it's rubbish looking, really cheap and nasty, literally a rubber draught excluder. So it was chucked to the side and a Maxton one bought instead. Still subtle enough as didn't want a big shouty rally wing.
TRD one
Maxton one
Thinking now I may need spacers for the wheels, but didn't really want to go down that route. Maybe another set of wheels with better offset, but quite like the standard wheels. Also will lower it slightly at some point when I can get over to String Theory for their full set up.

That splitter makes some difference to the front.
You have to love buying quality parts which come with accurate drilling guides and all, making the installation job much more pleasant than going at it like Stevie Wonder with a hatchet…
Yeah apart from having to use Google translate to figure out the instructions everything was spot on. Real comprehensive kit, though would want to be for the price of them!
No tiger seal required either

I don't, if these are staying they're getting sprayed an actual colour ASAP

That TRD rear lip is comical, function over form no doubt but how on earth they said yeah thats good to go when it wouldn't take much to at least blend it in given the effort they went to on the front splitter. Probably was a last minute thing after testing showed front splitter unbalanced it but still!

Like the new bits but honestly thing lowering would ruin its rally car look, that extra wee bit of ride height sets them apart I think.

Nah it'll be going 20/25mm at most on the String Theory springs. Bought it for throwing up a back road so don't want it too low as defeats the whole point of buying it.

Would 20/25 not even be too much on some roads round the Windy Gap?
I lowered my GTi 25mm and it rubbed going up the hill past the dump
Ah I dunno, would've hoped not but could be right!
I'm headed down Co Kerry this week in it to do Wild Atlantic Way so we'll see if it catches anything then. If it does then I'll rethink the lowering lol.
