Cheers mate! It's worth doing, I kept the original grilles etc so I can swap them back if I fancy a change!

I wasn't quite happy with the spray job on the wheels, there where a few runs in them and the paint was peeling so I found a set of steelies to run around on whilst I get the alloys re-sprayed, I'm thinking about going a hyper silver with heavy metal flake, what do you guys think?

Replaced the DV with the newer Revision E as I'm very picky and it felt like the Revision D wasn't pulling its weight as the boost gauge was dropping off when the turbo should kick in. Old Rev D is on the left and Rev E is on the right it's a pretty straight forward job to do, if in doubt look on the forge websites for their blow off valves, they give an instruction sheet which shows you how to remove the standard one.

So I bit the bullet and let the missus loose on my shift gator to replace the black stitching with red - what a difference! She did a cracking job

Subtle change but it looks so much better in my opinion

Gave the old girl a nice coating of polish and wax today, she looks good as new
I did notice there where a lot of stone chips..as in millions of the f*cking things. So I'll pretty much have to invest in a front end re spray I imagine
