Not too much noise really just will sound a bit more throaty , what you could do is drill the standard air box that's on it. I've done that on my corsa c makes it louder and it pulls a little bit better

Mines a 330mm one I didn't go for 280 it's far too small especially with the 2.0 turbo under the Bonnet !
Took me ages to decide on that wheel I was going to run with a cav steering wheel but decided to keep it spare for my cav turbo

little update, got my chrome vectra handles on.. if you saw my thread in general chat you will know i had some issues with these (chrome handle was catching on the grab handle plastic)

so had another go today and filed down part of the plastic on the grab handle which sorted the problem, also went off the blue grab handles so put the black ones back on

before



after



also put chrome indicator bulbs in rear lights so my idicators actually flash orange again instead of white

Cheers

Lots of stuff planned still just saving to get it all done, semi sbmooth boot definitely on the list as my boots rusting around wiper so need that sorted anyway.

Also for When it starts getting warmer I've now got some black pov spec bumpers to go on so I can take mine off and spray the tops and arches Gloss black

I've got a Laguna splitter which I was going to put on but wasn't sure on it and now think the Irmscher splitter will look much better and finish the front off nicely as I'm not planning on going down the Gsi rep route as there's already plenty of nice Arden blue Gsi reps.

Had a few bits done this week, headlights aligned finally not been done since I put the depos in nearly a year ago.. So nice being able to use full beam again was pointing to the sky before so was useless

Also had a service done oil change filters etc which was also well overdue.. First one since I've owned the car and I've done 14,000 miles since buying it and God knows when the last time previous owner had one done

Also got some nice pics at the beach today, car nearly got stuck but was OK

Looking good mate! Love the bonnet Quite difficult to get hold of!

I'd get the rear lifted though, got loads of rear rake. You thinking about getting any sideskirts?
