Cheers robin.

Just gotta wait for my new exhaust to turn up then its full steam ahead on building it back up, ill probably get a wideband lambda sensor so i can see my afr on the fly.. Costly tho at £150

Im going to use works leaf blower to blow all the dust etc off the car and give the garage a right good tidy up so once its all together i dont have to mess about.

Really looking forward to driving it now

Can't you use one of the VAG wideband sensors like you get with an innovate LC-1? They're only about £60

I dunno, probably if they are standalone, with this you just put it in the exhaust and put a live to it and it just measures it from there. are the VAG ones same? i know the aem ones refresh rate are pretty fast which is nice and a couple of the others have one. Thats why i was going to use that one.

Most people use an innovate lc1 for live mapping and use a vag sensor with them, if that says anything about them? I don't know about wiring but they're priced well at least!

Im lead to believe the UEGO type sensor is the best on the market at the mo.

Is that just wrap again on the roof?

If so it looks flawless in them pictures you're pretty good at getting that looking good are you not tempted to do the front clam the same to try and cover the stonechips?

Looks really awesome anyway I'm not surprised you're looking forward to getting to use it.

Yea its wrap

I think the pics make it look better than it really is but it looks ok.

I have thought about doing the front but there are a lot of chips etc on the bonnet bit so if i wrapped the bottom it would look daft. Im thinking about sanding it back and rattle canning it, im pretty sure it will end up looking better than it does right now i just need the bottle to actually do it lol.
