UPDATE

Today iv done a few things whilst being very bored.

Painted the engine cover satin black to get an image of how my skirts will look.


Only did 2 coats today but when i have time il do more. Also painted the wipers as i was sick of seeing the corrosion lol

Also removed my front arb. Made a MASSIVE difference to the handling. It turns in so much neater and there seems to be more front grip where the arb stole it off you

In the process of sanding/keying my skirts so hopefully will be on soon

Yeah i do recommend to at least see what you think. Iv noticed you can get more speed in corners compared to having the arb on.

You should be able to remove the arb if you have one fitted. There's 8 13mm nuts to remove and it comes straight off. It took about 10mins at the most, do it Mark

Got myself a Peco cat-back exhaust system today, so being me i fitted asap




The centre section has a slightly smaller silencer so its a little louder, but i like the backbox especially
