No worrys Dan yes it's a bit off a hike for ya,lower mpg = your having a blasthas your car settled down now with the regens? can't wait to get mine done.
Errrm its a little hit and miss, every two days at the minute. Has been a little better since I started work again so not just using it to do the daily trip to the gym. I think it may have to be a Terraclean and then a DPF removal if that doesn't sort anything.

Great news that your back in work mate excellent, can see a set of sportlines on yours then soon lol
Been looking at a terraclean for mine think it's worth doing will possibly get it done next month.
Cleans up nicely mate
Cheers pal I appreciate it
Little bit of progress on the car
So today I had a battle removing the grey plastic off my rear bumper. Removed the 7x T25 torx screws underneath then started to free the x20 tabs that are located around the edge.
These take a fair amount of force to remove them, I found using a flat bladed screwdriver helped to push the tab away from its location.
Managed to break one like a fool but considering how many are on it that's not bad for me
Here are a few pics and you can see the tabs and where they locate
Now it's removed it's off for a paint I'm doing it gloss black hopefully it doesn't look stupid lol
The dude I bought the diffuser from said its a bit of a bugger getting all those clips out! I wonder if BCS do that as part of the zorst fitting service......
Im all indecisive whether to get the semi gloss black redone in gloss - need to have that sorted eitherway before I commit to the pipes, but I think the semi gloss would tie in better coz after seeing your rims, I think I might get mine done like that too. I dunno!
Youll love it once yours is sprayed and its nice and smoooth! Hate that bumpy finish.
Certainly putting the work in on her mate, nice little touches too! Get it all in now while you can...

Your motor would look rude with your wheels the same colour as mine
Yeah I hate the way it looks/feels they should have made them smooth from factory imo think it will transform the look on her rear
Ha ha yeah getting it nearer to what I want and doing the main things asap as after we get married it will be kids next
Next big mod will most likely be a set of sportlines/H&R's to sort that ride height out.
Well, a family deserve to be in a tasty motor! You are doing it for them as much as youself. That in itself is planning for the future, and should be winning man points.
Thats all i'll say

like your way of thinking I've ticked one box by sticking with a five door

Hopefully yeah, though will be H&Rs for me.
Will look good with the gloss black insert mate.
BCS will fit the diffuser when they fit the exhaust, I got my Downpipe and cat fit when Betty got his Powervalve and diffuser fit. I think they charged him a little extra for fitting the diffuser.
Well had a drive down to R-Tech today for some stage 1 magic, will go into more detail later when I have more time but for now all I'll say is Niki is a legend and couldn't be happier with what he has done for me.
Car is pulling great figures of 306BHP/343FTLB and goes very well here is a print out
For those with a keen eye will spot something

Also made a little addition to my engine cover insert
Looks really well that mate, good job!
No worries mate. Always appreciate good work, things that are different and the effort put into them!
Good to hear you had a good day ;-)

All depends if the Mrs's is understanding?! Wouldn't really like to comment any further on that! lol I'm spending a lot of time and money on mine as well and no earache as yet?!
Some good numbers there buddy! How did you find the drive home? Bet you enjoyed it. Did you do what I did stick it in 4th and ride the torque wave, ha ha.
