It's getting there man, can't wait until it's all finished! Keeping it OEM but subtle is my plan..

So another quick update, again quite a subtle one...

I fitted my open fog light grills yesterday, again i'm surprised they didn't make them like this from the factory, looks so much nicer.





Next up is a good old clean at the weekend, inside and out, full detail, polish etc.

I also spent a bit of time yesterday re-positioning the new Ram-air intake, the jubilee clip at the bottom which attaches to the turbo inlet pipe was too high up, meaning it was tightening but not actually doing an awful lot..

I removed it, re-aligned it and re-tightened it and its miles more secure now, i'm still amazed at how loud the noise is. The turbo flutter is SO loud..  :P

Couple of lunch-time shots, really happy with how the car looks now compared to a few weeks ago when it was missing the TLC!

Car is in with arguably the best detailer in my area today, can't wait to see what it looks like once it's all finished!  :laugh:
