great work, and it's probably only me, but if i was going to the trouble of a full respray, i think i'd have changed the colour!

About time indeed Mook, i remember back many many moons ago when you said you had taken it off the road instead of selling it and not to tell no one etc etc...

May have taken this long, but definately worth it mate...

Looks fantastic indeed, credit to you and to the others who carried out the work...

Cant wait now to see it back at shows and on the road as Ruth said....

Looks really well mate. Keep it well locked up and look after it, will be worth a fortune in a few years time (if not already).

Jesus, didnt realise its been 3 years this has been away :scream: Fair play for sticking with it tho, more patients than most i dare say :p

Is the engine up in power now or stock and stronger just??? I missed that bit possibly??? How come you just went for a new bumper, not be better letting the FMIC breathe more???

u can take these to 260bhp on standard intercooler and its tiny and a wee side mount effort, to go above u needa upgrade to a fmic.

So she's upto 280 wi the software, i'm wait and see how temperature goes wi the bumper like it is, i really don't like the open mouth efforts that ppl cut into the bumper want it standard as possible, if i think its a problem i'll look into a charge cooler perhaps before i butcher the bumper!!!
