Cheers dude 
Erm wasn't easy lol, took a lot of patience with an electric mouse sander, emery cloth and meguiars metal polish and it's still not really how I want it yet :/
Thanks mate, different was the idea, keeping it subtle on the outside but the engine bay is a different story

Yeah it's definitely worth it though IMO if you have the patients
Erm wasn't too bad, but needs another coat really, where its a brush on high temp paint its really tacky so it's hard to get smooth. Had 1 thin and one average coat so far
I was really considering getting somewhere to make some, but it would be expensive and if it wasn't a perfect colour match it would look kak :/

Sooooo haven't updated this in a while!
Got my SFS TIP fitted...
Got bored of the purple and had other things in mind so basically reversed the colour scheme... Black rocker with purple bolts and dipstick...
Removed a fog light to pass more air to the SMIC till I get hold of a FMIC
Picked up some goodies from Cos
Painted the strut and fitted.
APR R1 recirc also fitted, much smoother boost delivery which helps with my map
RARB purple and fitted and set to medium. Vast improvement to the handling, can really feel the back end gripping
And just some random cool/clean pictures
Hope you like

Few more bits of progress
Car has had yet ANOTHER map tweak, so much quicker picking up from low revs now and holds boot a lot higher in the rev range. Still trying to get in on a rolling road day to get some actual figures though
Also lowered the car more, so its now all the way down on the JOMs. Main excuse for doing so is that the cold weather is coming so wont be hoonin around much
Will try and get some pictures if the rain ever stops.
Also, my mate mounted his go pro on my rear bumper for a quick video, here is a quick screen shot of the result
When I get the actual video file off of him I'll upload that too.

How comes yours is off the road anyway?Nah I'm not mate, was going to get some but there is a chance I'm getting some wheels which wont need them so I'm holding fire for now
Thanks -BH, yeah I wanted to do something a little different as it's a dark coloured car I wanted bits to stand out. Not really a fan of the 'stealth' look.
Do they not sell Milltek systems in Holland then?
Bought some new wheels the other week, Schmidt Modern Line 1 Piece's. 16x7.5 et15 fronts, 16x9 et15 rears. Gives the car a much more aggressive stance and means it sits a lot lower and meaner, love it.
Haven't got them fitted yet as I'm waiting till after the winter, only picture I have is when I test fitted them to make sure they cleared the brakes.
Obviously I need to wind the coilovers down a lot more but that will come in time.
