I agree, the red spoiler looks better, what about a set of sideskirts to complete the look as well mate? I think they would finish the car off superbly!

The bracket on the Miltek needs welding, a cheap ish BF downpipe has come up so interested to see
If the reports / reviews on the BF are true.

If I could gain a couple of ponies and have improved hardware on the car it's win win

Not yet.  Not be till the new year that one.  CupraR cluster is 5 - 600 quid without a faulty unit to exchange so expensive for a subtle mod!

 Savings pot for the next big mod is Carbon bonnet.
