i hated the relocation kit. I tried a few things but it just looked wrong

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

spot the mistake. Not meant for the vrs!

 

plus the hanger was all wrong.

 

Pro speed in cardiff fixed it all for me

 

 

**** job of polishing. Lucky i didnt pay much for it!

 

 

love bosch parts lol

 

this spring saves alot of expense

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this was crap, now replaced with oem

 

my transporter was out of action so the car came to the rescue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I won't bore you with anymore for now

 

I need to get some proper pics of the outside of the car.

Good job there mate....Love your car!!!!

Sent from my GT-I9001 using tapatalk 2

Nice work!

Thank you for the infos

cheers all

 

the car is basically all ready for stage two.

 

I've bought a sfs oversize tip but not fitted it yet. Also need to change my knock sensors again, as I put cheapo eurocar parts ones, and im still getting some cf readings.

 

I also did this : http://www.terraclean.co.uk/index.html

 

Either its a wast of time or my engine was fine anyway. I didn't notice a b!oody thing.

Great progress and a lovely looking car

Looks great, keep it up

Looks great good for ideas as you've done quite a lot. Can I ask were you got your shorter top mounts from?

venom motorsport, but loads of people now stock them. PSI tuning, awesome and on ebay I think

 

thanks
