I find the connections on the fuel filter almost impossible to unclip!!  :sad:

Thats cos yours is a crappy petrol  :laugh: :laugh:

Collected the car this evening......seems my mate Dean mislaid his paint gun  :whistle:  Instead he wet sanded and mopped it. Results are impressive  :smiley:

Also my mate Kris Lamin-x'd my headlights and wrapped my B pillars in carbon trim; I'll grab some pics tomorrow when its lighter

Finally had the Powerflex insert and antiroll bar fitted today  :smiley:  nice improvement in the handling now although need to give it a bit of stick

Tried fitting the Forge boost pipes too  :whistle:  usefully they supplied the WRONG coupler for one of the pipes so are now sending me a couple of couplers to see which one will fit  :whistle:

Cheers Wes  :smiley:

Yeah it was just the one that seemed to be out. Had a new one Friday so hoping to get them all fitted next week. I didnt fit them as Darkside do a hardpipe kit and I was toying with sending the Forge ones back but i
a) cant be arsed
B) can't afford them  :grin:

not being arsed is reason enough but not being able to afford it as well is a clincher :laugh:

Yeah its a bit frustrating as the kit is only £100 more but I've got to stop spending as I need to sort a few things on the house  :lipsrsealed:

Hopefully get it detailed soon so its looking mint for the show season  :cool:
