Very similar sort of thing to yours frayz
I've been searching for a bonnet in 08v to replace mine as it has finger dents in it from idiots closing it
Thought itd be easier to get a bonnet have it sprayed after fitting a mesh vent like yours
what you think frayz?

Yes mate.
Best thing to do is cut it and bond in the vent and mesh. Get it painted after.
It leaves a much nicer finish IMO.
Let me know what you wanna do and when

Few basic changes and I think the bug can look great tommy. Like the Prodrive bugs, the styling on them is spot on

Well guys tomorrow going to see Andrew Carr to get the car tweaked after fitting the 6speed box
Also for the 1st time my car will go on a dyno to see how it's performing too
I'm nowhere near any of you guys power wise but 300 and a good driving road car is all I want. For those who don't know the spec is as follows
Andy Carr TD04 Hybrid turbo
Sti tmic
Pink injectors
Green cotton panel filter
HRC 255 fuel pump
Full decat exhaust
Jdm 6 speed gear box
Excited but very nervous as 1st time on a dyno
any comments to calm the nerve welcome

Don't worry about the dyno - it'll be the perfect excuse to add a stroker to your 6-speed

Don't worry about it. The dyno puts less load on the car than the road.
Before going, check;
Oil level
Coolant level
Tyre pressures
Wheel nut torque.
She'll be fine.
