A few weeks back i was looking for a 2 door project

But ended up buying my 5 door V5 back  :rolleyes:

I then had an oppurtunity to purchase this:








Dont they look nice together



Needs little tlc , like a wing mirror & gear gaitor



but overall i'm very impressed with standard 180bhp.

1st thing ive done is swap air filters, so the turbo now has a pipercross panel filter.

I need to take both cars to a garage to swap the scorpion exhaust from V5 to the turbo.
As i was the original purchaser of the scorpion exhaust & receipt is still in my name, the lifetime guarantee still will be valid.

I have JOM coilovers ready to fit And some of these (as i never fitted to V5)



Im gonna cambelt/waterpump & service

and generally tidy bits up

Progress will follow soon  :smiley:

Had a little issue with swapping Exhausts  :angry:

The one on the black turbo is its original exhaust, so 1 piece
That means i could move the scorpion from V5 no problem

But can not remove the one of the turbo in 1 pc.......

So ive got 2 options

1. find a 2nd hand exhaust to put onto V5

or

2. just buy another new Scorpion exhaust for the turbo @ £300

 :undecided: :undecided: :undecided:

So im on the look out for a cheap exhaust at the mo
