Default Handy tip for when replacing standard parts with tuning parts.

Empty Cornflakes packets are ideal for storing all the bits you don't want; eg, surplus catalytic convertors; 2-pot brake calipers; original wheels*; sensible dials; antennae without plush tops; non-colour-coded mirrors, skirts* and door handles; top-mounted intercoolers*; restrictive downpipes*; dump valves that don't go p-toosh; nice, quiet back boxes*; legal number plates and badges. Then you can swap it all back when it comes to selling time because no-one wants to buy the complete pile of w@nk that you've turned it into.

* These parts may need chopping up a bit, or perhaps you could find an extra-large family size packet. Or a huge dummy one from an advertising display.

When all that's completed you can also return your haircut to something resembling an adult male.

I didn't look as bad as Ian Sadler, though; once he gets parked on a barstool there's no shifting him.

Isn't it good though how photoshop can actually improve on the original?

You realise once this thread hits muppets I'm out!

You can use the miniature cornflakes packets out of Kellogg's variety packs to put in any surplus bolts, small plastic or bakelite pieces, and electronic parts left over from re-assembly.
