Before, momo wheel with horrible carbon gear **** after with wrc style suede wheel with red stitching and alloy gear ****...
Much better in my opinion!

Had the day off work today to finish another project, our ensuite bathroom! Ha! Was worth it though to finally finish so I can concentrate on the scoob! Managed to quickly chuck in the new seats though, really happy with how they look and the interior transformation...

So, the standard bonnet sold today so thought I would have an hour on the car getting it stripped ready for the front end facelift and front mount intercooler.
So bonnet came off....
Followed by the rest of the front end plus trail fit of the hks filter which I don't think will be staying on the car long term...
The front bumper bar has however seen better days, so need to source a new one...
Plus also fitted the the wrc style door mirrors...
Slow progress but at leasts it's progress! So here's how it sits at the moment...

Bit more done today, decided to see what the carbon wing I bought looked like, still not sure about it but will see how it looks once the cars finished...
Before...
After...
Before...
After...
Next I removed the radio, cigarette lighter and tidied the mammoth of wires for the stereo and Tein EDDC controller then started to make a mock template for the replacement centre console I'm planning...
Now I have the template, I'm going to make the real thing out of some 5mm carbon sheet and a few other switches for future use and maybe a couple of gauges if there's room!

I've just ordered the new engine, turbo, injectors, ecu, headers and FPR, so some pretty big updates coming for it! Then hopefully have some fun in it!

Managed an hour or two today on the car!.
The carbon sheet arrived for my centre console so 1st job was to trim it to size and trial fit...
Next I cut out the holes for the tein Efdc controller plus a push button start and a toggle switch I had lying about. There are gonna be a few more switches eventually, but happy how it looked for now...

The new front facelift bumper had arrived the other day also, so couldn't wait to trial fit...
However, my excitement was short lived. The bumpers previous owner had cut each side to accommodate a set of abw arches!, rendering the bumper useless to me as you can see...

So, I stripped the bumper of the front lip, lights and fog covers and was forced to start cutting and fitting the other bumper I had previously bought...
Plan is to swap and the fog covers and lip over to this bumper once it's trimmed and ready for paint.
