Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words.
Re the license plate, I do have one on show whilst the car is being driven!
Did have a sticker plate on the side of the car, but got some funny looks from traffic police once so that got canned.

can,t believe the ristriction in the exhaust pipe in the first pic

Next I looked at the brakes. The OEM pads were very dusty and didnt last long at all.
I bought some brembo blues for the car.
In hindsight these werent a very good addition as the soon killed the admittely not very good stock rotors.
Next I changed the panel filter.
I then looked at the intercooler. The stock intercooler is tiny so I fitted a forge motorsport unit. I got it fitted at Forge HQ, got a chance to meet the big boss Peter who is a really nice guy and really enthusiastic about his products which was nice to see.

Yeah its quite restrictive, especially with the primary cat right at the inlet. Alot of people have decatted this exhaust and seem to have improved things alot.
It being a two pipe system as standard means its actually got greater flow capacity than a single 3" bore, but you pay for it in weight, and the restricive DP.
