It's a fiddly job. You need to do most of the work from underneath.

I've got a few pics that i'll upload later that might help you.

Nice one. Been talking to the place that is redoing my turbo for my Astra and he said that 200bhp might be possible

Was it hard to do?

Looks loads better without all the wires in the back!

Really easy to do. But the wires for the light in the bumper had to be cut then reconnected together. On the 1st pic, if you look in the middle you can just about see some blue connecters.


DYL - yeah it does feel a lot better now going into gears, but did you see my Woops thread in GC. I managed to snap it. So got it welded back together and it feels even better now. Mush have been going for a while.


broster - What have you done with your wires that made their way to the front? I'm thinking to hide them in the box section under where they go as normal.

The ones that run under the front of the seats? i removed the seats and put them under the dash, really easy to do and makes everything so much neater, just need to extend the handbrake light wire.

I've done that with the wires at the front. I meant the wires that go to the rear for the lights. Have you hidden them or not?
