I'd rid of all the carbon and black bits and paint em white apart from mirrors, I think they make the car chavvyish IMO, carbon is so halfords nowadays.
(I still have my bonnet carbon but it's light lol and I can't be arsed paying to get it painted for me to chip the **** out of it).

Just had a 2.5 CDB with 14mm headstuds conversion built. Spent the last 6 days putting 1000 miles on all ready for mapping on Monday - pain in the *** running in but I guess the positive side is some nice pics on the journeys and the weather up North has been fantastic!

Bob Rawle is mapping it Monday. Bob has always mapped my cars.
Thanks for the kind comments

Thank you for replying Mario.
Once your Type R is mapped could you please do a write up on your new engine.
I would love to know how you find the new 2.5 Engine set up.

Well my car was mapped today by Bob Rawle and it made a very healthy 474 bhp & 483 ft/lb of torque. It's an absolute animal for a road car to be honest and the torque from the 2.5 is absolutely lovely. Absolutely over the moon with the results and the quality of the engine build - but I knew that wasn't in doubt anyway as I have had an engine build from Andy before and know many many others who have done so as well.
Why do you live so far away from me
, I would love to be taken up the road in your Type R

Starting to look that way, the auction prices are certainly on the up as well. You don't seem to be able to get a decent low mileage V5/6 below £10k these days.
