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 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

 

Nice looking bug. looks a million time better wit the de-tango'd headlights.

 

nice, new wheel nuts needed though!

 

Yeah i have a full set of studs/nuts and lockers to go on when i have time

 

Very nice mate, could just do with having the side skirts colour coded.

Hmmm not sure about CC the side skirts.

BBB3 - they have literally just been put in near my house , how dare they put them over my washing spot

 

 

Tidy

 

Cheers - its filthy again now , was after my Monday morning commute thanks to the damn roadworks on my way to work.
