Got wing mirrors and grill trim wrapped in gloss black today, also got my tweeters, speakers and crossovers fitted!

Also noticed my reg and side lights flicker on and off while turning engine on which is a bit strange...

Its worth it, +10hp at the flywheel, revs seem sharper, headunit sounds better, tires grippier and im sure the exhaust note is more agressive.

:lol:

Fitted my bonnet strut, also fitted my Revo intake today sounds good and feels a little more responsive may be the placebo effect though. Will upload some images tomorrow.

My led sidelights do the same. Nothing to worry about.

My sidelights flicker like crazy at the minute. They need changing. On another note, since the remap the cars regens are becoming extremely regular. Thinking I made a mistake now....however I'm doing less than 10 miles a day with me not in work. Hoping thats the problem.

How does it look. Very tempted to do mine, just didn't know if the sun would glare off them.

Doesn't sound good mate I'd take her for a good hard blast,maybe a DPF delete is on the horizon and get the regen mapped out.Guessing this is something big fish can do?

If so I'm sure they would do a good price as a returning customer :think:

This morning I fitted a gas strut in the engine bay, engine cover, front mudflaps (fitted the rears a couple of weeks ago) and RGM sill guards. Engine bay looks much better with the gas strut, engine cover and battery box.

The RGM sill guards were £39.49 inc. VAT and delivery for the set and are a perfect fit. They come with cleaner but I used panel wipe to clean the sills before fitting. Tape as a marker guide so I know exactly where they go, peel backing paper off and fit - simples! ;)

I also transferred my flip key into a new case as the old one is well worn. Getting the transponder out is tricky! :censored:

Yeah they'll definitely do it, just hope its not going to cost me the same as having a dpf delete and a remap, hopefully it'll just be the delete and software removing. Took for a good blast two nights in a row. Fingers crossed its been fine today though.

Some nice touches there Rob. Battery box is on my list of things to do, cheap Seat should of had them and the bonnet struts as standard.

I think its only because I'm not using it much, with being out of work. So my daily run out is about 3 miles to the gym and back meaning it hardly gets up to temperature either.
