I really like the smoked lights look. Are you going to black out the chrome trim that separates the windows to the body too?

Yes that's on the cards. I just have to get done 3m trim tape.
Gona try plastidip the S quarter grills in black and maybe do black door handles although ill see.

I'm considering a DIY refurb on the wheels, I have done wheels before and these are a fairly basic wheel so should turn out well. If not ill just get them refurbed as planned.
I love to try stuff myself first.

[Mackers]

Ok so the wheels will have to wait a little while, the money I had put aside for them was sacrificed for a forge intercooler

Just want to get as much performance upgrades done before the remap

[MiniMpi]

[AdyP]

[Mackers]

More updates

[Mackers]

The silicone pipes finally arrived for the Alta intake today so that's been fitted, great induction sound and it seems to be popping and banging more than it did.



Also put the tint film on the rear fog light lens.



I'm still to do the front fogs but I'm going to wait until I'm fitting the intercooler as the bumper has to come off to access both.

Going down to Ger in the morning to get her remapped, can't wait to feel the difference.

[Mackers]

Well it's mapped.

The difference is mental, the extra torque is insane it just keeps pulling through all gears. It's like a different car.

Thanks Ger, great meeting you too.

[Mackers]

And the updates don't stop,

Intercooler has arrived, ill probably fit it tomorrow.




I just got a call fom work to say a package has arrived so I'm hoping that's the pro-kit but will probably be next week before that's fitted.

[MiniMpi]

Sorry I missed you today, I was out in Ger's also but a bit later.
The re-map is amazing isn't it ?!!!
Glad you're happy with it.
