All looks great! What did you do with the undertray? Bridging the gap for the M bumper conversion I presume?

No I already did that, mine came with //M bumper but standard tray, so I managed to source an //M undertray. But the APR splitter came with a pre cut down //M tray so I had them all out checking mounting points etc, all fits like a glove now :fuelfire:

The paint looks flawless and the wheels are better than new !

Looks fantastic, you must be really pleased :thumbsup:
Yorkie I'm buzzing with it, keep looking at it out the window :D

Fitted an Aux in cable. Trickiest part was removing the air vent above the radio. £15 all in and works a treat

New alternator regulator as the old one stopped doing its job, causing the amp to pop in the process :headbang:

Ah well, could be worse! I seem to have finally solved the rear rattle by adding foam tape to every bit of boot trim!

Used what I had left of my Dynamat Xtreme on the rear parcel shelf and behind the cubby holes. Ordered some acoustic carpet to go on top.

Decided to take it for a drive, seeing as she's been moping in the garage since Sunday, as been using the 2.0 in "shakedown" mode..

Now I know I said the 2.0 was a cracking little car, but OMG I now realise why I LOVE my car!!!

Lovely hoon to the shop, of 16 miles, and it's actually only 6!

As they say, "There is no replacement for displacement" :D
