I'll be at PVS mate A good idea would probably be to play around with trying different stuff with your car so you can see what sort of shots you like And remember to try and not cut bits off the edge of the frame unless you're doing a close-up or something, as a picture of a car with half the front bumper missing doesn't look very good
They're just a couple of general tips, anyway

*** Update 18/05/2011 ***
*** Enlarged Throttle Body, EDS Enlarged Tophat, 2.5 inch Hard Boost Pipes ***
The setup i had...
I was using standard tophat, throttle body and standard sized intercooler pipework, which although got me to the 300bhp mark did feel a little restricted...
Few pics of the goodies...
EDS Enlarged Tophat with Dump Valve Outlet
And against the standard one for comparison..
Enlarged Throttle Body
New Clamps
New Stainless Enlarged Boost pipe and 90 degree bend
Bits together
First I removed The standard tophat...
Comparison between tophats once the standard one was removed...
Then from there onto removing the standard throttle body...
Comparison before removal...
Once removed you can see the size difference and smoothness between the 2...
New gaskets on both, cleaned with autosol then started fitting the larger boost pipes...
A lot more fiddly as they are obviously bigger in diameter, I went from the intercooler to 90 degree bend as it was...
I had to wait until the following day to receive my 500mm length 70mm that i could cut to size as the joiners they had given me with the kit were just to short to make it all fit as it should...
Fitted..
Im really pleased with how it feels on the road now when under acceleration, I dont know about performance gains or what people have experienced with this type setup, but it feels really free flowing and smooth, absolutely no hesitation under boost or flat spots, as it occasionally did before and ive used it for a few days since...
Thanks to gregsi for bits!
*** Update ***
*** 28/05/2011 *** *** Undersealing ***
To be fair, this car considering its age is in extremely good condition on the outside as well as underneath and i want to keep it that way, got the car to work and up in the air to inspect for any rust areas that are in need of attention
Rubbed down ready for treatment...
To be fair main bits were wher the seats bolt in, surface rust, the sills were good..
After looking at different reviews i decided to use Tetrolsyl, I put the 3 tins i had in a bucket of boiling water to warm them up,
When connected to the air line it will go on the car better, connected up the sprayer...
Finished...
Then coilovers wound back down and wheels back on...
Not really anything shiny to look at here, but im amazed with how well its aged, its always in the garage...
Comments always welcome good or bad, thanks for looking see you all at PVS!!

Jake - Yeah, Ive had that exhaust for probably around 5 years, I was hoping to get it changed for PVS but wont have time now its going to mij in walsall after PVS for a slightly smaller tip, and re-made backbox, does the job well enough for the time being though
