After looking at members rides and projects and regularly reading posts on here I've caught the bug already!!
Won't be a super build,more normal generic mods but would be nice to share my progress with others

As the car has only done 35k on a 07 plate I want to replace a few bits before the mods...followed a guide on here to change the cam follower so done that this morning along with the rear discs and pads..don't think them bolts have been touched for 9 years!!nightmare!! Next will be timing belt and a small service plugs/oil and possibly the DV and then will proceed with the mods:)
missed out on an exhaust system on here the other day but have been looking at local tuner AMD as a new cat back non res miltek and stage one re-map works out about £750...50% off map when you buy an exhaust which is also fitted free...didn't think that was too bad?!

Got an interior led kit with a couple of exterior extras,fitted number plate bulbs last night but struggled a bit with side lights (bloody stiff) and was getting late so decided to have another go tomorrow,am also waiting for a prying tool kit to arrive before tackling the interior.
Booked myself in with AMD next Tuesday for miltek catback and a stage 1 re-map!! CANT WAIT!!lol

Thanks ste
I got the kit from eBay,good quality and came pretty quick as they came from Bulgaria. The kit is for interior only but if you send the guy a message and tell him what extras you want ( I added sidelights and number plate bulbs) he then sends you an offer with amended price...simples!!https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281806280081

That looks so clean!
Welcome!
Thanks buddy,I spent a good few weeks looking for one with good history but kinda wish I'd looked at little bit more into the spec side of things as I overlooked xenons etc but am really happy with it..its MINT inside and with only 35k on clock it drives like new:)
