Spoiler and side skirts make a huge diffence to how this cars look. Through in some 'lowerage; and they look immense. Nice looking motor.

Spoiler

So ive finally took some pictures of the spoiler !! I had to take it back to seat on friday to get it re-sprayed as the colour match wasn't very good and i couldn't live with it and im really glad i did as it's pretty much spot on now. Although i was a little bit annoyed they got it wrong in the first place they where really good when i took it back.

Anyway nothing you havn't seen before :happy:

Rang admiral about my renewal price and told the them that i was looking to get an engine remap and exhaust and it put the DOWN another 90 pound which made it £700 lol not to bad for a 19 year old !! So i went ahead with that and then set about looking for a place to get the work done and i think after a phone call with jabba sport and reading a few gd things about them on here they are going to be my choice. But im wondering what i should go for I deffo want the map and milltek non res but is it worth getting a induction kit or maybe even a forge twin intercooler i know most people don't bother with these until they are at least stage 2 but i like the sound of it offering gains but also reducing engine temps. I'm not intrested in going stage 2 yet btw. any advice will be apreciated ,cheers.

Milltek non resonated fitted the other week and i really like it, great sound on idle and when under load. It also increases turbo and supercharger noice as well as the blow off noice also the tips look amazing. The only slight downside is a bit of turbo whistle at very high revs. Anyway a few pics of the old exhaust and the new:

So i purchased a second hand carbon itg kit from ebay and after a bit of fidling about i got it fitted. I also put a little filter on the breather pipe.

Looks familliar that ITG... :p

Hope it does you well!

Yeh cheers , the t - piece didn't fit the breather for some reason so I've just used a straight connector and that little mini filter instead which I think looks good also I've got a new intake hose so it looks the business now

i had to used a smaller pipe and squish it into the tpiece then clamp it with a jubaliee.

yeah the feed pipe was a bit on the bad side.. fell off once and didnt notice for a few days. found it just outside my work a few days later haha.

glad your enjoying it. i found i got 10bhp off the dyno and the engine sounds like the blow off etc a lot more pronounced.
