Default New Bugeye

Picked up my new pride and joy yesterday, took a quick pic



Took tomorrow off to give it some TLC, claybar and polish etc, will get some before and afters up soon, no plans to mod as yet but wouldn't mind a uk300 type spoiler but believe I would need to change the bootlid as well.

Double din stereo coming out to replace with my Sony head unit, will order the convertor tomorrow(payday)

Can anyone tell me what's involved in fitting a boost guage, is it a diy job for an enthusiastic amateur or am I kidding myself?

TBH, the boost gauge isn't too bad, some wiring for the lighting from a suitable source (speedo or clock lighting circuit) and a T-piece into the vacuum hose going to the recirc dump valve

Looking good but if that's a genuine STI spoiler there'll be about 9 holes in the bootlid compared to the 4 for the UK300 spoiler

Looking good !

I fitted boost, oil pressure and oil temp before which was straightforward providing you take your time- I used a guide off here and that helped loads (it's a guide for fitting prosper ones )
