Bought a new thermostat, will be fitting it later.

Replaced CTS last weekend and now car takes ages to warm up and the temp gauge fluctuates lower than 90 (by 5-10 degrees) when slowing down. Gotta love coincidences!

Will be glad to not have to do anything to this car for quite some time (fingers crossed!)

That will look nice. On mine a previous owner has removed a the plastic panels which hold the front seat belts and sprayed them back to match the rest of the car, looks good apart from the paint is scratched off in some areas so getting done professional hopefully will last longer for you in the future

I'm going one stage further to the extent the A and B pillars and upper dash will be covered in either leather effect vinyl or actual leather . Upper dash will be leather stitched red like the seats! Moooo!
But trim parts getting done first before car goes in. Also having Seat Sport stitched into my back panels on the seats at the same time....
Youres looks good too mate!

Just booked both the blue and yellow cupras into bill at Badger 5 for tuning. As I've got a lot of cow in the blue one with more to come, that's going to get dynatwist induction kit and remap.
Yellow one which is already stage 2 is getting the badger 5 treatment to make it the best it can be and also junking the CDA carbon fibre induction kit and putting a dynatwist on instead.

When you say A and B pillars I take it you mean either side of the front windscreen? If so mine of those are black too. My upper dash is black, lower grey. Most of the plastic is black tbh with a dark grey roof. I'll have to take some pictures of my own to show you guys as all the ones I posted are from the advert when I bought it lol

Just picked the car up from TSR having had Weitec 40/40 kit fitted plus Polybushing wishbones and fitting polybushed dogbone mount. Oh and it had a service.
Sits about right for me as I live out in the sticks so I didn't want it too low. I expect it will settle a bit.

I got the same mats, Sadly they don't last long. almost a year in and the drivers side is fooked.

I don't put that many miles a year on the car so I'm hoping they'll last over a year.
But oh well, for the price I paid they will do for now.

need side shots and a review of the drive

Agreed, side pictures would be nice. Looking at those coilovers too!

Hopefully tomorrow, only picked the car up at 5:30 tonight. They are shocks and springs. Didn't want the harshness of coilovers ..............or the temptation to keep fiddling:D
