Few updates the engine bay needed a good clean, so I decided to give a good detail. This was first time cleaned engine bay so didn't know how to attack it . I didn't want to soak the engine cause problems. so used jet wash as little as possible. Spent a good 2 days cleaning section by section with a lot of degreaser it's not perfect no way near still got a lot to do but I was happy with progress so far . I managed to fit Rocker cover , Radiator cowling , expansion tank , radiator cover and Engine oil cap , rain tray , & rubbers & radiatior warning stickers .

New suspension fitted , first impressions only driven it few miles was it is bit firmer But i need to give the suspension time to settle and wear in. The eibach springs definitely lowered the car 30-40mm. I also fitted 20mm spacers to give it big more aggressive look. Fitted all new badges to the car made massive difference, and rear lights. I gave it another detail before winter comes .

They look far more classy

Thanks for kind words Gents ,
Madone_si : next on list is new exhaust , I could do with help finding the right one ,to be honest also need new carpets and new roof for summer.
One seven one : as for Rear lights , never been fan of orange lights , got real dislike to the orange look , think makes car look tired , the side orange indicators had to go too for clear ones. each to there own and all that .
Still got standard ones though for the future if need be .

I would go with full custom made exhaust, 2.5" exhaust open up the gases getting out, maybe 4-1 downpipe with flexi joint so engine movement doesn't break exhaust at that lower point at the front. There is loads of information on this on various online forums.
