Love that front-on shot of it on your drive, before you put the mesh back in - the black goes so well with the yellow!

need the wheels black now
Nooooooo i dont like black wheels
(no offence) i always think cars with black wheels, from a distance look like the wheels are missing.
Well i have been doing a bit of work on the car, my brake servo had decided to give up and die so i got a new one and decided to have ago at fitting it, it was a PITA the engine needs to be moved forward to be able to get it out, so i had to remove the left hand engine mount and the dog bone mount along with every thing on the left hand side, the master cylinder was easy though. I also fitted a new inner CV joint finished my twin air feed, put some new plugs in and uprated the actuator spring as i was getting waist gate creep, the spring has sorted it, the turbo spools up a lot quicker now and holds boost better at the top end. Just need to do my 3" down pipe, to replace the Piper down pipe which is 2.5". The only downer is that i seem to have upset the camshaft sensor which now is throwing a fault code.
Yeah and the £400+ bill i would have got from the garage, i dont like anyone working on my car i like to know whats been done and that the quality of the work is up to standard, if i'v done it i know its been done properly unless I'v had a few beers then i have been known to remove wheels with out an axle stand or jack under the car

Thank you Phill, i did notice and panic
Well i have now fitted my 3" down pipe and De-cat, well worth it, turbo spools up a lot quicker now, funny thing is its a lot quieter, just need to get the flanges welded to the cat and i can swap and change as i like.
I also fitted the pop out headlight washers just need the covers and to find out where to cut the bumper.

I noticed big difference in noise going for OEM DP and CAT to 3" De CAT.
Quicker spool is good too
