Alright, a quick update.

Got the back box on now, might make a vid of what it sounds like if anyone's interested.
Certainly tidies up the back anyway. Also, bought the debadged front grill from Tom, who kindly fitted it for me and also fitted two blue LED sidelights. I'll take some pics of these at night.

Some quick vids of the backbox. Quality is terrible due to using my phone, but might use my girlfriends digital camera later.


Just pulling off.

Sorry for crappy quality.


EDIT (29/9/11):

Next time I get home I'm gonna try to get a good quality camera to film another fly by and stuff, as since then the backbox has been worn in almost, sounds slightly different now. Only hit about 4k revs as well so next time I'll take it to the limiter to see what it sounds like!

thanks :)
£40 for the backbox and £70 to fit it.
needed a lot of adapting and welding which was a pain apparently. inlet went from 60mm to 46mm or something, idk lol.
 
I like the back box, sounds good! Not sure about the rear valance though, don't know if I like it or not lol. Think I would have got the diffuser bit of it done gloss black, but at least its something different to the standard valance :)

Are you going to de-badge and de-wiper or get a polo wiper? That would complete the rear imo.
Great first car though, a nice set of alloys and it'll look brilliant! :thumbup:
 
thanks mate, was pleased with the back box. usually they sound **** because they're so quiet but luckily this one came without baffles so sounds beefy between 2500-4000 revs!

i might debadge the back and am gonna put a wiper from the 100hp sportrider ibiza on, as it looks a bit more chunky :)


also, quick update again guys,
my FL front bumper arrived the other day and it's currently at the body shop. need to buy centre grille and foglight covers then they'll be able to spray and fit.
 
All these mods must be adding a fortune to your insurance. Hopefully you are declaring them, otherwise your insurance is void!
