    After Fandango's HUGE list i have some catching up to do !

    All ive got is an " R " Front Bumper, T5R Lowering Springs, And a HLM 304.

    Meager list compared to the previous but i have some mild plans in the pipe line, going for the sleeper look.

    Cheers

    Thanks buddy, i love it to bits!!!!

    It is a bit bouncy on the coilovers, but handles like its on rails, an combined with the power of the thing and the LSD rocketing you out of the corners, it gives a very exciting drive,,

    i never ever wanna get rid of it!!!

    Halfords chav-it-up Steering wheel cover, you wouldnt believe the confidence that bulky wheel inspires! went back next day for a nicer designed one to gift to a mate, didnt fit his steering wheel, i tried it, didnt like the texture, lost the receipt, now its gone missing somewhere. I lost out on a fiver!

    Planned:

    New backbox to replace existing corroded one
    Cheapest kit of induction i can find.

    Stealth

    Apart from the RICA and Eibach/Koni FSD set up, I managed to slot in a few cosmentic mods when the good lady exchequer was not watching.

    Stealthed the rear by painting the T5 badge matt black and meshed the front bumper grilles using gutter mesh from Aldi and a hot glue gun. Dead easy - PM me if you want some how to pics. I am particularly pleased with the rear badge as you can't tell its a T5 until right up close in daylight, or when parked. Heh heh!

    Thinking about doing the main air intake for the intercooler which gets a lot of abuse from road debris. Thinking of either galvanised mesh as used in the building trade, or again the black plastic gutter mesh. Any thoughts?

    i used the stainless Folia-Tec mesh you get from most car accessory shops, i also binned the standard plastic blanks blocking the other 2 smaller vents in the front bumper. Only thing is because of the mesh you can't screw the torq screws back in to secure the skirt to the bumper itself (makes it alot easier to take off tho when working on the car lol)
