Would have been nice to have more cars but it was great nonetheless.

Thanks to the lads for making the effort to turn up  :smiley:

Small update

So after deciding to sell my car and then not selling due to a fair few time wasters, I decided to keep the car. And to celebrate - treated myself to a catback milltek exhaust purchased from @Deano45 (excellent service provided). Also bought a replacement downpipe from @v4rley and along with it got a LED reversing bulb (again excellent service and bulb works fantastically well)

So after speaking with my brother in law @Gtiene we set to work one Saturday afternoon and decided to fit the exhaust ourselves. First job was to do a precat delete on the downpipe. Fairly simple job once you have the downpipe off -



Took us in total about 4 hours once we manages to get everything off and the new bits onto the car. Our mechanic skills are nothing spectacular but for a pair of novices we did pretty well! (We were lucky my brother has a ramp so didn't have to use axel stands or jacks!)

Old exhaust off:



New one on:







I went for the non resonated version and I'm loving it (anyone considering a resonated versiondon't bother the non-resonated version is a must!)

Also had these delivered today from @toosmiles - a shiney Porsche oil cap and black fluid washer caps to freshen up under the bonnet a little:

@K2 NYJ next on my shopping list is a visit to rtech and eventually get it lowered and upgrade the brakes. But when I plan to do it, I end up spending the money on repairs and maintenance  :doh: really wanna get a my inlet valves cleaned and cam chain done

@v4rley haha sorry had to be done! Thanks for packaging it so well though - and the bulb tucked away in the pipe - genius!  :notworthy:
