Got a great deal from a forum member EL
Thank you mate for all your advice, top quality forum member

These will be fitted Sunday along with my badger 5 tip and my seat headlight protectors

Cars starting to come along now next up will be a 3" downpipe ( if any one knows of any ) and a decat then I might get a pipe made up with a 200cell sports cat

This weekend I fitted the springs and it sits so much better, will get some Photos this week. Had a look at the bushes ect and will be saving up for new polly bushes all round.

Also fitted my new brembo stickers

Nice one mate. How you get on with fitting them? Not to difficult I hope. Look forward to seeing how the car sits, must look real nice!

So today got to fitting the badger 5 tip

First job was to remove my autobahn88 tip

Then was to get the reducer onto the turbo and fit the rest of it and bolt all the parts up
It's so much bigger than the autobahn88 one

I've been looking at the pipeworx ones on eBay

Saving up for the down pipe and decat at the moment
Then I'd like to get the forge fmic, then back up to Jabbasport for them to tweak my map
Hopefully got a s3 brace on the way at the moment
Also going to be investing in some polybushes

They where a complete ass to fit lol
Rears took all of 2 mins to do but the fronts took slot of wd40 to get the shock out
Also then saw the condition of the bushes, there not that bad really but gona start to save for pollys

bought not built = Buy Car, buy bits and fit, no 'hands dirty' jobs bar maybe fitting bits and bobs unlike building a whole car from a shell... although you still buy the bits anyway so not sure where the line is unless you actually fabricate all parts yourself, but then you still have to buy the metal... either way mate each to their own KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Yeah the rears are so easy, the fronts need some flapping about. Good to hear you have done them, hope your happy with the stance. Still waiting on the pics ;)

Good work on the TIP dude, I found it a bit of a pig to fit properly, the clip which holds it to the turbo housing was a dog as it kept coming off every time I tried to tighten the bugger!! :censored:

It's the 90+ hour weeks that help me afford them as well as selling all my old junk on eBay
But yes a million times better than my autobahn tip

Yer bit of a random quote from him
Don't know many people that make there own lowering kit or exhaust systems ect
I'm loving the car at the moment just gona make it a bit more stiffer with braces and new polly bushes ( which yes I brought as didn't have time to develop my own lol )

Also about to order up my down pipe

Prove going to go for the pipewerx one with decat as I havnt rear any bad reviews on it yet

What do you think ???

I will get some good photos soon
Still thinking about the lowered fk spring caps to make it s fraction lower on front
But I am really happy how it sits and I havnt smashed my splitter yet :)
Yup know what u mean about the tip I'm sure I'm missing lots of skin on one arm, and there was alot of swearing at certain points lol
