my clutch is brand new and has covered only bout 1.5k so if i was to buy a clutch i would rather look at proper one as the fast road one is only for light modding
i used a t-piece from the fuel supply to the fuel rail. it was cut by the bulk head. the best bet is to get very tight pipes and metal t-pieces . hose clips are pretty gay as they will get loose over time. if the pipe is leaking then try cutting the rubber pipe end of slightly as the ends sometimes splits and leaks.

when i looked on ebay it stated it was only for light modifications and had no power figures for it. the paddle clutch can handle 200bhp+ as stated. where did you get that figure from bud?

+ fit gti-6 brake setup
+ smoke headlights
+ black mesh the grill
+ spray the intercooler black (not sure)
+ move the mf2 inside the car

If it was me I would get some angel eyes or maybe some morettes! I had some black angels on mine and I thought it looked superb! apart from them being set up the wrong way! lol! I used to see a saxo that was starting to copy mine with the smoked blue/black theme! Looks awesome though!

sneak pics of my smoked headlights
here some pics of the headlights before i put them on the car. broke the glass on one of the lenses so had to buy a replacement
have also used black mesh on the grill and also smoked my front indiactors.
havent decided fully yet on whether to spray the intercooler black or leave- will have to see what it will look like when i put the stuff back on
also picked my gti-6 calipers - they are mahoosive and the pads are pretty new on them too so may not need new pads.
will post some pics up 2mos when the stuff is fitted, meanwhile heres the pics i promised:

thats good work there. lights looking good too. the thing to do would be remove the wiper completely. Although but the mk2 wipers do look alot tidier than the mk1 metal ones, and it breaks the back of the car up.. I'd remove the wiper personally.
