I can't wait to get it on the road, had a little potter around today with manifolds but no exhaust, she really snarls.

I've got a mapping session booked before SN so she will be running well but no need to get it on the rollers again.
Only changes really are exhaust and injectors from last year. I'm sure we can fire it up at some point :wink:

Cheers Jim,

I agree with the squares, its the combination that works. squares with no spoiler or the BBS and bumper doesn't quite look right.
For me this is spot on. Just need to add a lower splitter before getting on track.

Pink that would be perfect :bag

Anyway, small update, the exhaust is finished twin 2.5" throughout with oval side exits.
Large rear view mirror and wing mirrors fitted, all ready for the remapping session tomorrow:
