Good man cheers be ordering one of them I think.

Ah fb not on it mate would get in way too much trouble if I was ;)
U got a phone number please mate
Also does it come in gloss black or did ya paint it?

When u took plastic vents out of the bumpers to paint what make paint did u use? Did u clear lacquer them too?
Sorry for all questions mate just wanna do it right and asking someone who's done a great job is the way forward :)

Also when u took front vents out I'm surprised u didn't fit led's in them, I think they're smart.
Seriously thinking of gloss black vinyl for the roof and rear spoiler

What r ur thoughts on these mods?

Cheers for info buddy

Cheers mate ur a star! ;)

There's a bloke on here called robthebubble, I think he actually makes led kits up and sells them. Pretty sure he wouldn't mind explaining the fitting when u get them, failing that there's always YouTube.
Don't think it'll be too difficult to do specially for u with some of what u have turned ur hands to so far :)

Again thanks for info I've got plastic primer just need the paint and I've got lacquer so will probably use for bit extra protection :funk:

cheers guys

Footrest pedal looks great mate, good find. I will be getting one

Just want to clear up something I said in ur thread too,
I mentioned robthebubble makes and sells led kits but actually he makes a part to add to ur kit. The part is what controls how bright the LEDs are when the side/headlights are on to make them legal.

Looking forward to ur next update mate!

Hi mate, how did yesterday afternoon go? Did you get back on the rollers after you got the hose connected properly?

hi kev,
was nice meeting ya m8 ;)
id did get the pipe sorted out and took it for a spin when you were leaving and i could tell it pulls stronger now,
anyways i did get back on the rollers but suffered more with heatsoak,humidity so i couldnt get any more out of it from earlier really which was gutting :(
i did stay after to have a word with the staff,1 was saying the map needs to re-adjust to the new parts etc with them fitting the night before etc
2nd guy said(Al) it wasnt hitting the big numbers from last months RR as the boost/turbo came in a lot earlier so more low to mid range grunt was achieved which i could tell on the way home lol
so overall it wasnt hitting the BIG bhp like many others stage 2+ cars but ive got the low to mid range grunt which id like more hehe:D
356 bhp & 385 llft-lbs
cheers
