Deffo looks better. I've found some black paint and some sandpaper, time to do mine.

I just got a new black badge on mine, glossy one instead of matte, looks so much better.

well finally cleaned it for the first time. Im not 100% happy due to taking it to the jet wash, ratehr than cleaning it by hand. But atleast it looks more presentable.






back to black didnt work on the bumpers. i think they are way past their point!  :grin: might have to borrow a heatgun and bring them back to life.

Car saw 116.6hp and 135ftlb of torque at JKM performance in portsmouth.
I was extremly happy with this, bearing in mind the engine has not been serviced for 25,000 miles, and i was running normal 95 petrol rather than V-power. Notice a flatspot at 3000rpm on the torque curve, hopefully pipercross filter and chip will cure this and restore full torque curve and smoothe it out :smug:
Plans for the next month or two are pipercross panel filter, and a bew chip.
