Update
Quite a bit has gone on since last update,
got my irmscher bargain splitter fitted and fitted all of my janspeed exhaust system! Really pleased with the look and it gets lots of attention due to the splitter!
took all my audio out as well so with the 40kg weight saving + janspeed system performance is now quite fruity!
Also just had my cambelt and ancillary belt changed for free at vauxhall, my cambelt had holes in it 
Plans:
'Flame' inlet manifold
Fit my 'badboy' bonnet and make my front end look like this again!

When I had T1-R's they were really shit in the rain. Broster will agree with me too! They also wear too fast. But are pretty good in the dry. Prefer GSD3's myself.

It's down A side street off the a41 going into albrighton.
About the bump strips I'm worried if I take them off that it will pull paint off underneath.

few new mods have arrived/on order
firstly i got rid of my awful cone filter and replaced it with a deresticted and drilled airbox
with a K&N panel filter
the diffrence that made was incredible i can't belive it, more low end torque no flat spot at 4000 and more power nearer red line!
so as i was loving this better inlet i went the whole hog and ordered an inlet manifold off flame which arrived today and is awesome!
really really pleased and will be fitted in the next few days!
also went for an awesome photoshoot resulting in two of my fav pics of my car

I believe the airbox came out of a fire damaged corsa. Luckily though its not melted through and still kept its shape.
