Are you parked on a slope? The front looks low but the rear looks quite high? Iv got H&Rs on mine and i love them!

Yea the rear still seems a little high but its dropped a little bit over the old springs, I've got Koni adjustable shocks all round that I had fitted December last year, although still tempted with Bilstein B8's as had the H&R and B8 combo on my old Vectra C.

Well I've finally gone and done it, I've booked the car in to have a hybrid turbo fitted and new map, just got that long wait now till 11th June when it gets done but I'm sure the wait will be worth it  :laugh:

I'll be going back to Jamsport in Northampton as they did my original remap, it'll be having one of the Turbo Technics hybrids so hoping for another 50bhp and upto 400lb/ft torque.

The clutch will be my next big job on the list as its still on the original one at 114k so don't know how long it will last with the new turbo on.

Been a while since I last posted, I dropped the car off at the garage today so the next time I see the car it will have its new turbo fitted which hopefully will be on Monday  :jumping:

Think your figured may be a bit optimistic you'll be probably lucky to get near 210bhp and 350lb ft what spec turbo you going for and what else are you changing???

Car looks good by the way :happy2:

Been a while since I last updated this, not really done much, my hybrid turbo is currently turned down boost wise as the stock intercooler is holding me back at the min so its only running 200bhp, but haven't the pennies yet to sort this as I moved out of the parents house last year so still getting used to bills lol.

Recently I've been looking into doing some OEM upgrades on the cheap, so I sold my Pioneer head unit as I wasn't using all the functions and bought a brand new DAB RCD510 and I've also installed the glovebox MDI kit so I can connect my ipod to it.

Today I ordered up the door lights as I missed having them after my old Skoda, just need to find someone locally who can programme in the light function ready for fitting.

Looks wise still looks the same bog standard ish.

Looking good, Did you never bother fitting the other front bumper and grille?
How hard can it be?
