I cant believe me and chris evans agree on something 😉😙

I won't be changing wheels. I want to keep the car looking fairly origional. I might lower it a touch more and put some decent spacers on to bring the wheels out a touch. I really like the way it looks on these wheels 😎

Well, this afternoon I set about restoring my yellowing headlights. I used autoglym metal polish as I've done it with this on a previous car and it works wonders. No need to wet sand, just 20 minutes each side with the metal polish and then super resin polish to get them spotless. Took about an hour all in but they've come out really well and has made such a difference 😎

Fitted my milltek deresonated centre section tonight. It's a tiny bit louder but still a lot quieter than I'd hoped. It has a bit more of a burble but is still very quiet. Currently has standard down pipe, standard cat pipe, milltek de-res centre and prodrive back box. new back box needed I think, or possibly decat pipe. Would fitting a decat mean that I'd need to get the car remapped asap or can you run a decat without a map?

if you retain the down pipe cat you 'should' be ok, it would be worth get it on a dyno to check out the AFR#s to make sure.

Cheers @Tidgy

im thinking of buying a decat downpipe and decat pipe, then getting mapped at same time. More noise and more power in one go and nice and safe. So the age old question, were to go for a map?

On second thoughts, I've been out for a proper drive this aft and it is a fair bit louder once you put your foot down. Not really massively noticible on tickover or cruising though but has a nice burble to it so may keep it as is for a bit. 

yeah best way to be, wont get hassle from the rozzers lol

@mattiekane it is a fair bit louder than before. Just not asbo loud like say, a nur spec for example 😂😂😂😂

Haven’t updated this thread in a long while (or been on the forum for that matter) and a lot has changed, so here goes....

I’ve changed the prodrive backbox for a ninja one, fitted a new front splitter, the coilovers came off and where replaced by the much nicer standard suspension and a few weeks ago the car went in for a full detail.

i also resprayed my grilles to make them mint, there was a few stone chips on them.

also fitted 5mm hubcentric wheel spacers which made a subtle difference.

I took off the square rear plate and replaced it with an original size one, left the square on the front though.

The 2 front tyres were running low, so swapped them out for a set of Michelin pilot sport 4’s. I have 2 new Bridgestone potenzas on the back and 2 new Michelin’s on the front. It sticks to the road nicely 😁

Heres some upto date pics of how the car looks now
