Not finished yet chaps and not allowed to work on it today because its at work on a ramp and mrs said no! So will be going in really early tommorow to get it done. It is a lot of trimming to be done dont get me wrong but it will go. I have had to cut a lot of the side vent holes, and radiator cowling to get it fit snug. My aim at the moment is to get it running again so will have to trim the side and centre grills later so will look chavy! I think I messed up on my order from ash though  :sad: my pipes don't quite meet up on my hot side, cold side will be fine so might have to drag it out during the week and order more stuff but will keep you posted.

Rio has data of before it was fitted on his car, can't do it on mine as he ripped out all my old pipe work yesterday! If your all standard we could do it on the day on the same route therefore the outside temp will be the same.

Bumper can be fitted I then fitted the pipes and cut to let them fit

Fan cowling had to be modified too

Weight saving tactics!
Valance modified to fit IC

And fitted

Hope this gives you an idea of what needs doing and give yourself a weekend to do it and make sure you have permission from the mrs! I think an r32 bumper will require less cutting..

This is looking great chaps. Mine pulled 42'c yesterday trying to get maximum MAF figures. Took ages to try to get them back down to 18'c that I started with.
