Well since the old C4 is sold and away with the new owner its time i got to work on the new C4... i bought the car fully intending not to touch it but fuck it i cant resist 
Few months after buying the car the plate was quickly changed over good start i think 
Bought the car with the standard 17" Corsa VXR Wheels but after seeing a few Artics at Crail with the 18" Corsa VXR Alloys i wanted them.. so i bought them lol, but i soon started to take a real dislike to how black the wheels were just to dark for me so they are heading to be powdercoated the same colour the D90's were on old C4.
So with the ball rolling i started to look into exhuasts wasnt long untill i found what i wanted and bought the Remus System with Down Pipe. Big MOFO but should change the note a tad
I Joined up on VXRONLINE a while back and started searching into filters etc, seems the panel is the best shot atm so i have just bought the ITG filter, still kinda want to buy the DD one but we will see how i feel after the ITG comes.
Was trawling EBAY a few weeks ago and came accross a Bailey Twin Piston Dump Valve Kit, Was a bit of a hmmm moment and left it for a bit then bought it, should be on its way to me atm Plan to buy in all the other hoses in blue sometime soon aswell so should go nice in the bay. Will be good to be a bit chav for once lol should look something like this.
Spotted a MPG Gauge pod for sale on VXRONLINE which im in the middle of trying to buy but will defo be having one if its falls through... not keen on the gauges in the picture but im sure i will find a set i like 
Been chatting to another fella on VXRONLINE who is making up alot of real carbon fiber Corsa VXR goodies, obviously i want them all and hes keeping me well posted One of the things i cant wait for is the diffuser 
Bought in some cleaning stuff and merged it all with my old stuff... should see me okay for the next 30 years
So thats me atm, im currently looking at some of the stuff Courtenay Sport offer and i must admit im getting keen on the Stage 3 the fellas do for £2600 odd which is a heafty modification and good gains to, but i will read on and find opinons and go from there before i make a move on it.
Comments/Ideas Welcome

Yeah that sucks adam
Yeah i was reading that to Shep, it seems to be a random thing some VXRs like them some dont, just your luck... the DV26 is the only one they are recommending that you use, but even at that some are reporting that the spanner light comes on. Will see how mines likes it, it came today needless to say any issues its getting binned lol
Aye dan me to so many things the fella looks to be doing, gonna get that big box feeling again
