Ordered some new mats now that I'm satisfied that the door leaks have stopped since fixing them.
Also booked in for an MoT and service next Tuesday.
 
We'll seeing as how my mot and service all went well, I had some spare cash floating around. Now as I'm sure most of us do, I began looking around for car parts, it's only natural.
Whilst looking on eBay I found a set of bbs ch reps. I contacted the seller who happened to live about 30seconds from my front door. So we struck a deal and here they are fitted to mine

Need a bit of tidying up but look great on the car. Very happy :cool:
 
A lot of hard work and some top products.


I lie this particular shot has been edited as it went on instagram. ;-)
 
So recently I've accumulated some items to adorn the R, nothing too major...yet :rolleyes: but I received these from Darren

Just got to fit them next week.
Also my Red R badges were fading to pink, not the look I'm going for to honest so

And also a smaller aerial, surprisingly the signal hasn't suffered.

I've also purchased an OBD II reader which for the price is awesome. Reads and clears faults codes so no more orange engine light caused by the decat.

Then today gave it a proper clean before winter to give it a fighting chance of the impending shite weather. No before shots just afters

Cheers for looking.
 
Small update...

Got the inlet and the inlet cover fitted today with the help of my mate Pete.

So happy with it. Just need to get myself some meguiars metal polish to keep it looking fresh.
And I've already been talking to Darren about what to order next. Bugger, this is going to get expensive!!

Christmas presents ordered for the car. I have gone for the silicone Forge upper boost pipes in red, the DV and N75 pipes from forge in red and also the trackslag charge pipe, polished. Should tidy the bay up nicely.
 
Small uodate -

As above I'd ordered the forge upper boost hoses and the n75 and dv pipes all in red. I also ordered a trackslag charge pipe. I decided to give it a go as from helping do my inlet a few weeks back I'd gained some confidence to tackle this.
Before

A few hours, a lot of swearing and several ripped gloves later

Also bought a satin black dipstick handle. Then as I fitted it I noticed the original Orange dipstick tube was visible from the top. So I sprayed this satin black also. Gave it all a quick polish with some meguiars metal polish and all looks lush.

Next up is probably going to be a badger5 tip. Now I've read up and can make out that the v3 is easier to fit and the v2 has a better 'flow'. Any thoughts or suggestions?

You're supposed to chop the corner off the chargepipe holder, that's why you can't get the other clamp bolted on.

How much was the inlet and carbon bit?
Yeah I know mate, that's being done next week with the help of a friend who has an angle grinder. In fairness it's pretty secure with only the one clamp but the other will be done soon.

As for the other bits get in touch with DK on here. :D
