Default New exhaust fitted & a quick wash/wax

I had a productive day yesterday, finally got my new backbox (magnex) fitted yesterday after struggling with a corroded rounded exhaust bolt. I picked the backbox up from chriscooby, its only very slightly different to my current jap style straight exit as it was a 4” tailpipe but inwardly rolled, much better in my opinion and more OEM+. Not sure what brand the backbox was which I took off , a bit of a clean and I might be a bit wiser.
Old backbox


New backbox



Old vs New



Also gave it a quick wash/wax with collinite 845, and dressed the black with some el cheapo black trim restorer. I am planning to purchase some more detailing products soon and give it a full clay/ SRP/ wax.

Bad news is I discovered plenty of stonechips on the front end which I put down to the never ending roadworks on my route to work 

Anyway here are a few pictures;










Future plans;
- Replace the ugly extra long wheel studs / nuts with OE length items
- Fit my Depo boost gauge
