wish I'd known you were after a 4mo valance, got one sat in the garden lol

That air install is absolutely lovely :afro:

Are you going for the Polo/Golf hybrid strut caps like I made?

Lastly have you noticed an improvement in your MPG now you have the Miltek?

 :grin:

I ended up getting a new one from the stealers...£56 with discount :sad:

Yeah going for hybrid strut caps I reckon :afro:

And in terms of MPG...yes! Even though I was 'enjoying the sound' of it last night I saw better mpg than I got with the old one on driving steadily.

Driving 'enthusiastically' last night I couldn't get it below 28mpg, that's the best I ever saw with the 3" :grin:

Yeah I think the lack of back pressure was definitely affecting it

^ Don't beat around the bush there mate!  :grin:

Defo get air, that install looks lovely. Like a nice practical install.

It seems everyone is changing there 3" system, why so? I have a feeling it wasn't just for the MPG?

Depends entirely on the kit you're after? you want just the kit or it fitted with a boot build?

Yeah, reckon I'll start ordering bits next month for the air :wink:

3" system was just too much for me tbh, too noisy at motorway speeds :grin:

The 3" system isn't because of poor quality etc its jut people personal preference  :smiley:
I can understand why some people don't like it at mway speeds but I don't mind  :grin:

This is gonna look pretty sweet on air  :cool:

Got the link but it took me to a page of your build thread about your exhaust :whistle:

I went back 10 pages looking for it then gave up :grin:
