Just ordered fresh interior door handles and switches with the chrome tips.

Cheaper than I thought - drivers side plastic cover is £10.99; passenger upper and lower parts of the handle are £8 each all inclusive of vat.

Got the switches off German eBay for £20 delivered.

Do you have a link to the switches?

Gave the dirty whore a little scrub up.



So much for keeping it standard!

Here you go:

Says London in the advert but when you go to checkout, it is Germany.

Ask for combined postage....

So, the car has been in with the guys at R TECH having the map tweaked after the exhaust being changed.

Here's some of the early results from FB.



440.7bhp and 427.7fl/lb.

Cannot wait to get her back, planning Snetterton 300 on September the 17th, should be a good shakedown.

Can you advise on the price of the tweak?
Unfortunately not yet pal, I'll let you know once I do though! :happy2:

My the current output with:
  • Stock map
  • ITG Profilter panel filter (WB586)
  • Exhaust manifold heat shield
  • NGK Iridium BKR7EIX spark plugs
  • R8 red ignition coil pack set
  • BCS Powervalve TBE Prestige system with 200 cell cat and wrapped DP



After sorting suspension and brakes the good part is coming... :evilgrin:

Oh wow. How many miles total you clocked alone? Or is that all you all the way?

That's another year of MOT.

Many thanks to Alex at AKS Tuning for sorting my rear brakes the other day!
