With the lotus stile skirts :rolleyes:
The black parts are added on canards I think
Seriously but it does look nice :)

And good effort actually fitting the splash guards back over the skirts, I cut mine too much haha

Looks like a cruise control diphramI think you are right. 2nd look at the engine bay picture, and there is a added cable attached to the throttle body.

Hey mate. It came on the car when i bought it. I think any car audio place like sound n motion can do it. I am not seperating it off the car sorry.
