My cap arrived yesterday to fit over the yellow brake fluid reservoir top. Looks pretty good.

Thinking about painting the washer bottle lid and the header tank cap now too.

Hopefully i've found someone to swap my TIP with too. A black one should hopefully be on there this weekend!

I managed to get hold of a black TIP, thanks to Rhysox who kindly swapped my red one for it :)

I think it'll look better once all the intercooler pipework is done, the polished inlet is back, i've repainted/polished the throttle body and everything is clean!

Also fitted a new power steering bottle as mine was leaking, fitted the plaque on the front panel. and secured the cap on the brake reservoir!

Next job is battery relocation and sorting my oil catch tank!

Your such a tart :p

As you said mate should look much better once everything else is back and fitted, will see if John is about next week to sort the pipework

Haha! As i said mate, it'll never be a show and shiner but i don't want to be ashamed to open the bonnet!

That'd be good. I don't mind runnig the parts over to him one evening or tuesday when i'm off.

It's my car's 10th birthday today :) Apart from a little rust on the rear arches and a small bubble on the tailgate it's all good! Not much remains standard though!

Bad weather has stopped play with it. I'm STILL waiting for the inlet manifold to come back. What was meant to take 4 weeks has now taken 8 :( Hopefully the boost problems are sorted. Just gave the N75 a good clean, but if it happens again i'll buy a new one or possibly a boost controller for when i eventually go big turbo.

Going to order a short shift tomorrow and start getting together bits for the battery relocation!

A few little updates:

Neuspeed short shift arrived yesterday and got fitted before i took it for it's MOT (which it passed no problem at all :))

Parts are slowly coming together for the battery relocation:

And FINALLY, after 10 weeks of waiting (was quoted 4-6 weeks) i received my inlet manifold back! I decided to get it chromed instead of just polished, thinking it would be easier to clean and keep it looking nice.

On the plus side, hopefully the rest of the intercooler pipework will be sorted this weekend:)
