Well it’s been a while and I know the majority will have seen the progress on face ache but seems a shame not to bring the thread to an end without seeing the results.

So here goes.

I got all the kit fitted and the fibreglass bonnet but one of the doors was not right so it’s gone back to Lee to be altered, unfortunately lee’s Heath took a turn for the worse so the doors have not been fitted yet.

Shipped the bonnet and dc2 spoiler for painting but turns out mine is xpg+y so they came out the wrong shade.

Anyway the bonnet got fitted, I’d had enough of waiting :-)

You may notice the added air exit duct and the centre grill.
On startup there was a lot more heat than I expected and it almost melted the bonnet.

Grill was added to allow heat out and the manifold / downpipe were removed and shipped to Zircotec for ceramic coating .

I was never happy with the play in the turbo so I shipped it back to the people who made the original units for backdraft.
Universal turbos confirmed the cartridge was toast so a rebuild was ordered along with an upgrade to a bigger rs6 impeller [emoji23]

All back together with additional heat shielding from the manifold.

Cold air intake from front bumper to underneath the air filter.

I found a set of front doors , fitted them and fitted the Perspex windows / door cards.

Looks like a great car. I'm assuming track only....?

I absolutely love this thing, you will have to let us know when you're doing a track day and get a few of us out.
