So i have done the following mods on the car:
17" FR alloy wheels powdercoated
Eibach Coilovers
Painted Calipers
Cupra front splitter
Skoda rear aero wiper
Powerflow cat back system
6000k HID dipped beams

Nah it won't be mine, mine is at home :( I'm a first year, I live next to Wentworth Porters in shitty Langwith G Block.

If you're here next year you should see my sexy beast (readers ride thread, middleish page) cruising about.

Ahh. I'm a swimmer and I dabble in Basketball and the gym, that's about it. Ha. Squash is allegedly fun though.

Looking good mate, got any shots of the front and rear? What do you think of the powerflow?

Yeah will get some more decent pics up after ive washed it this week. Just spent most of today replacing all brake rotors and pads. MOT on monday!

I do like the powerflow, sounds great when i'm giving it a bit of a thrashing! However if i had the choice again i'd prob keep a mid box as it does get a bit annoying on motorway journeys or if just trying to drive sensibly!

If your asking how much it cost it was £300 for a cat back system. lol, woop woop. When the car was full of stuff to go home it looked like how i want it to!

Cheers for all the replies! Will get some better pictures up soon.

Ended up taking the front bumber off today took a few pics of that too. The first time ive done anything like that was quite interesting and surprisingly easy!
