New rear calipers have arrived today so just finished painting them with Hammerite Special Metal Primer.

Then time for the Hammerite Smooth Green tomorrow!

Haha! Your wheels aren't looking too shabby either! Yeap just one of the rears is seized but picked up a couple of reconditioned ones off ebay pretty cheap. Just need to get round to either repainting the front calipers aor maybe go for a 312mm setup.

Looking good.

Finished another session today but I'm

now experimenting with a Dodo Buff Daddy (DAS6) machine polisher.

Its hard work but looks great afterwards!

[Dark_Hero]

Can't wait to pick it up next week then.

[Dark_Hero]

Those wheels look sweeeeet!!

[Dark_Hero]

Oh cool, didn't know they offered that one. What front mount are you using?

Thanks Buddy! They were going to be white gloss but changed my mind at the last min! What exhaust have you got fitted btw? Sounds great

[walejase]

Erm...stock OEM side mount. :-(

[Dark_Hero]

Could do with a front mount with the hybrid :-)

Would love to but after the hit my bank balance has taken from the Fab the last few months its got to wait. Surely the standard inter cooler will cope with circa 180bhp? If I go any higher I'm gonna need to fork out another £1k for an upgraded clutch as well.

Gloss white would have been just as good

I've had my back box chopped off and a tip put on, had it done by my local powerflow exhaust specialist. Not got a video up yet, but think the one you referring to from '0 silencer' topic is pretty much the same

Yeah just a pig to keep clean! Been looking at a few Piper exhausts but not sure about a 0 box one yet, need to see one in action i think!

Videos don't do it justice in my opinion (hit and miss with some people)

You could see if anyone near you has one and have listen and cruise

A cheap way to get more sound

[AJFisher]

Car looks very nice mate! Can't believe I've never seen it around leicester! I'm here there everywhere haha. Ill be keeping my eye out for it

[walejase]

Nice part of Leicester that, my office is just down the road from there in Oadby.

Yeah standard intercooler will be ok for 180.You could do the pikey arch mod too which will help airflow through it.
