Not good. Hope you are ok. Crashed mine a couple of weeks ago, all fixed now.

they look good, plus you can open your windows a little bit without getting blown about in the cabin
only thing I found was that they didn't stop water dripping into the cabin if you had your window slightly open;
EG it's been raining & your roof has lots of beading...you get in the car, open the window.....set off driving...beads of water still drip into the cabin all over your door card
had a day off, so did a full valet today
2 bucket method wash, then played with my new toy.......a dual action polisher
did a full machine polish to remove some swirling I'd picked up, polished with Autoglym SRP, then applied Autoglym HD wax by hand to seal it
very impressed with the machine polisher
also went online and bought some poorboys black hole glaze

I'll let you know when I drive it. I smoke and am getting fed up of the seats and me being covered in fag ash whilst driving as the wind blows into the cabin something fierce, just off the wing mirrors.

Went for a little drive after having the stage 1 APR software loaded.
Good times
Any good? Big difference?

Exceptionally good mate, cracking gains too from the latest APR software.
Went from 265bhp to just over 330bhp and that was run on the 95 octane program, probably would have seen 340 on 98.
Feels a lot smoother in the power delivery and it's so much more potent, really gets up to speed with ease now, it was no slouch before but now it's great.

Yeah I'm fine, thanks. Rear bumper rear quarter panel wheel arch and a brake light
Not TOO bad then. I needed bonnet, bumper, grill, headlight and wing.
At least no one was hurt!
Good info. Does put a spanner in the works for what I thought would be a mild 300hp tune with potential to run on stock clutch/fw

I personally wouldn't do it fella, based on what I've seen.
If you did get it mapped I think you'd be living on borrowed time with the clutch/fly
If you're going to be in that position you may as well get the clutch/fly done first then the map, it's the sensible way to do it rather than getting the map and running into problems where you can't afford to replace the clutch.
Lets face it it's not a cheap do.

No indeed. But the idea was to map it and immediately start saving pennies for the inevitable clutch fail. But that'll have to turn into saving more pennies and then some more to do both...and the downpipe
You could map it straight away and have the clutch last for a good while, or on the flipside you could map it and it could start slipping immediately, you have to ask yourself if you'd be willing to stump up the £900+ fitting for the clutch/fly if (or indeed when) the clutch does give up.
Just do that mate, I'm running stage 2 with no clutch problems
Crafoo, yours died whilst it was standard, so not a good example lol
Haha. Well regardless it has to wait a good while as we're broke as **** and buying a new TV hasn't helped haha. Replacing the clutch is always going to have to be done. Question was when...
