I thought i'd chuck a couple of pics up of the updates.

Here's a couple of shots of the punto now that it's complete i didnt really want to put them up before collection as the customer had no idea whatwas happening to his car and didn't want him to find some pics on the net before initial collection. But he's well happy with the end result to say the least :laugh:.







The amp rack is motorised from the rear bench, sorry about the sketchy pictures but everything has been trimmed right down to the seat belt clips in the b  pillars. Boy does this car smell of leather lol.



And a few pictures of mine.

I've had this rear wiper delete bung for a week now and don't know wheather to fit it of hold out and grow some balls for the carbon tailgate. AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH what to do lol.



Few shots of my mate fitting my new exhaust thanks to Matt



mate shortening the reducer as it was a little big for the system



Quick shot of the car



My APR fuel pump arrived yesterday at the missus house so picked it up last night read to fit it tonight hopefully be straight forward enough.



I take i'll be fine driving the car with all the mods without a remap for a few days? Hoping to get it mapped early next week.

Coming along nicely Luke  :happy2:

Did you splash out on the BBS. I am guessing you dont know how to say no when it comes to your car asking for all the best bits.  :laugh:

How do you mean mate enjoy the pump? do you mean it's a nightmare to fit or you mean i'll see gains even before the remap.

I'm going with the revo 2+ remap the guys are top and are so helpful i totally trust them with my car  :happy2:

looking good mate :)

Cheers Mate

The BBS are getting collected tomoz fingers crossed i'm totally broke now but hopefully they'll be worth it.

I'm hoping i have all the main parts now why i try and recoop some money i'll concentrate on the bags and finishing the install.

May even rock the bbs with white centres for the minute until i have enough for a rebuild.

I think you needed some special wheels with your project, i know your are getting some arch work done so they fit properly.  :jumpmove:
They will just set the whole car off.  :smiley:

How you mean arch work done mate and fit properly i thought this set will bolt straight on?

Yes i'll be rolling and flaring the arches a little to get them tucking when i hopefully lay frame or there abouts
