Thanks mate. Yeh me too, only cost me about £30 for all the stuff but it was a bit of a pain in the arse to do!
Haha, the list is endless! But the next big mod needs to be a slippy diff before a cage 
Yeh will do, hoping to get back later in summer. I can't wait to get back out but I still have a few commitments at uni.

This arrived a couple a days ago....
Fibre glass bonnet from the guys at CCF. Looks awesome, nicely made and very light!
Just need to trial fit it, mount the aerocatches, and then paint it

Track Tyres - Yokohama A048R 185/55/14
Road Tyres - Toyo CF1 185/60/14
My next set of track tyres will probably be some 185/60/14 R888's though as the A048's are quite a bit more expensive now

Thanks mate.
Yeh I did the 'Yokohama' on my track tyres but the writing is quite small so it was hard to see, and after the trip to the 'ring most of it had come off anyway.
Wouldnt ever do it on a set of road tyres, might do it on the 888's again when I get a set

Thanks mate.
Suspension...
Bilstein Group N Front Dampers
Bilstein B8 Rear Dampers
GMC -40mm Springs
Polyrace Front Wishbone Mounts
Powerflex Front ARB Mounts
OMP Upper Strut Brace
OMP Lower Strut Brace
Yeh I painted the inside with a few cans of hammerite satin black, doesn't look too bad although it will be getting painted properly if/when I get a cage.
Haha, I'm thinking its about time for some ploy windows as well

Errrrrr, off the top of my head the Powerflex engine steady was about £25, the vibratechnics race gearbox mount was about £60, and then I've also got a baker bm group A lower engine fork bush which was about £20. All fairly easy to fit if you can hold a spanner

Not sure at the minute mate. I also want to fit my standard grill but the hole in my new bonnet looks quite big, so I'm not sure if it will have anything to mount to.
I'll update my thread when I get chance to trail fit it and fit the aero catches before spraying.

Cheers! I got it from a company called Trent Plastics. They cut the size I wanted for about £23.

You should paint the metal box section behind the rear bumper, will smarten that up 100% and would only cost a couple of quid
