Ignore the L plates, i've passed now.

I've done some mods to it already;

K&N Air filter.
And a new back box which needs fitting, (I was in the middle of doing it when something cropped up, so i'm running with no backbox atm!!)

I do need to debadge it.

That's it, for now. The back box should be fitted on Sunday. (Yeah, i'm still gonna drive it like it is as I like the sound of non-silenced :P)

Cheers,

My wing mirrors are starting to fade, should I colour code? I work in Halfrauds so getting the paint aint a problem. I'm presuming it's easier then the bumpers? Masking tape at the ready lmfao
