No don't think it does.

It's a really bassy deep tone low down from 3000rpm, but it's not a great sensation in the cabin in fact I'd think it'll be a pain for long journeys. The US video I heard was a lot louder top end.






See If I can get another video with something better sometime.

Lanoguard applied, very impressed with how easy it was to do.

Good stuff, not glamorous but I’d say this is a priority over the likes of PPF and ceramic etc - there’s so much pressed steel under there and from the 2nd pic it looks like it’s starting to go already??
How much lanoguard did you go through?

About a litre, think it's a 5l bottle and I decanted
it a couple of times into a 500ml spray bottle which was a lot easier to use. There was some surface rust starting which was more apparent when I painted the calipers a while back. Think these are more comparable before and afters, I was impressed with the difference.

It also came with some decent grease for bolts. Interesting to see how it lasts but I think for a couple of hours once a year it's a no brainer. I did also go for full PPF which spilts opinion and isn't cheap but worth it for me

Yeah I guess PPF is for some folk and not for others, but I reckon everyone should be getting under the arches with something like this - especially in the UK.
I got myself some ACF50, which I think is equivalent to the Lano

I've heard of ACF50 but don't know a lot about it, a friend of mine said it was a bit more difficult to apply vs Lanoguard?

I need to do this next month. May I ask if you jacked it up from the diff and under the engine which jack did you use? I think it needs to be a long low one
Hi, yes jacked it from the diff at the rear and the front centre Jack point. I use a SGS low profile trolley jack that went under without any issues.


These rubber jack stand pads also fitted the frame rail perfectly. Wheel nut torque is 120nm.

Lanoguard is something that I will be doing over the next few weeks/months, how long did the process take?

What material and settings did you use for the clip? I'll be interested to know how it's fairing after a few weeks of use.
I am using PETG-CF but it does not seem to work reliably just yet, I need to remodel the expander bit to make them thicker.

Did a bit of sound deadening in the rear.

Got my HKS Hipermax S coilovers, Muteki SR48 wheel nuts and Perrin brake brace. Will be installing them myself the nearest days.

The Coilovers are really nice, will be a shame to put them under the fenders :) Came with new end links and of course camber adjustable top mounts
