Pictures added!
Car was supposed to go for MOT on Friday 30th June, but the garage phoned early in the morning and said they had to reschedule for Thursday 6th July!!!
Also, my number plate has been removed and the car now has the plate as when I originally purchased it back in February 2016, the plate is as shown in the pictures.
Thanks for the nice comments

Its a newage system from the turbo back. It fits perfectly except for one exhaust hanger on the rear box. The sports cat is a Litchfield Imports design, its in the mid pipe, apparently better for turbo spool to have the cat further from the turbo.
Plus its a lot easier to put the non catted mid pipe in rather than having to swap the downpipe for MOT time!
Forgot to put in the description above that a Milltek resonated, non cat mid pipe is also included with the car, so you could run catless if you wish.
I actually noticed zero difference in performance having the cat in place. This surprised me.
It sounds OK, its no stupid loud, nice and subtle. Honestly it could do with being a bit louder, would actually suit the car if was a bit louder. I just got fed up of the drone from the exhaust that was on it before so went for the full Milltek, which is about 8 months old.
To turn the volume up a bit more, you could take the car to an exhaust fabricator and have them cut the included Kakimoto N1R and add a flange to it and bolt that to the rest of the Milltek system. That would sound pretty good I think.
