Green Cotton Air Filter
Smoothed air box
R32 Air Intake
3ins full Blueflame with race cat.
DV30 Bailey recirculation Valve
Forge Silicone Pipes
Forge Short Shifter
Glow shift boost gauge in Nomad pillar.

Couple of pics a day or two after picking it up.

and a couple of my old car having just sold it:

 

[RS6]

Looks nice matey any interior shots, thats alot of stuff already done!

 

[Nef]

Good looking car mate, and a nice mods list.

 

[coops10]

Looking very nice and some very tasty mods!

 

[George 3G]

Very nice mate, and some great mods to start you off with! Super low mileage for the year too.

What's your plans for the car? I'd make it a priority to get a Forge FMIC fitted and make the most of that Revo Stage 2 map

 

[h7 cya]

looks a good one buddy.

 

[kev new]

Nice looking car dude.....really like the silver

 

[J@mes W]

Firstly welcome to the forum.... that's a very nice car indeed, its got a fantastic list of mods already. Really low miles too, you're a lucky sod

Any plans for her?

 

[tyrer]

Lovely mate, great find!!

Nice and standard but must pack a punch!

Any engine bay pics? interested in the r32 intake...

 

[RDS]

Cheers for the comments everyone!

FMIC is definatley high on the list to do but I need to raise some cash first as I just spent all my money on the car!
As theres already plenty of performance mods done I'm thinking of doing something on the handling front although I'm not keen on lowering the ride height so I'll probably get uprated ARBs and strut braces and see how it goes from there!

I was originally after a standard car so I could mod it myself but I couldnt let this one pass by with out a look and yes I am a lucky sod

Lovely mate, great find!!

Yeah its rather quick, quite a step up from my old 106 GTI

I just fitted a cone filter but forgot to take a before shot
These are the after shots though:

I'm undecided on the cone as the car is alot louder especially the DV. I'm leaving it on for now but it might get removed in the future.

Debadged the car and fitting a fabia rear wiper

After:

 

[drka-drka]

Very very nice base to start mate looks smart

Im thinking about taking the Rs off from below my indicators too

 

[RDS]

Time for a wash:

I made a template and rebadged the back of the car. I've got a grey R on order:

Cheers mate.

The R badges are easy enough to get off! hot water, dental floss and some sort of store/reward card.

The centre caps on the alloys needed sorted as well so I got some with R's on instead of the S! I lacquered them to make them more durable:

I'll be honest I'm undecided on these as well although I think the extra dash of colour on the rims looks nice!

Modified air filter to allow for the larger intake:

 

[George 3G]

Looks good mate! I like the new badges and wiper. Not keen on the centre caps though

 

[cap r 225]

looks good mate, how much you pay for her?

 

[RDS]

Looks good mate! I like the new badges and wiper. Not keen on the centre caps though

Cheers mate

It sounds daft but the caps look better from further away!I'm probably going to order some normal ones with the S on to replace them. The originals needed replacing in any case!

 

[DOLBY]

looks good matey...defo needs lowering though
