Not a massive update but Ive decided to tidy the car up over the winter. My mate is taking me into work for a couple of months while I make some improvements!

Ive removed the bumper and grill as it was peppered in stone chips and repainted it at work! fitted them back on and fixed the grill each end where some clips have been broken for a while (incase you spot the black tape in the pictures!)

Next on the list is a new middle box for the exhaust. Ive managed to hit it a few times on speed humps so the car now sounds like a tractor lol. Im going to order a smaller middle box from Demon Tweeks and get that fitted in the next few weeks. Decided against a straight through pipe as i hate exhausts too loud plus after reading up some people say it decreases the performance!

Last thing to do is get a set of 4 tyres as the others took a beating on my trackday last year. A few pictures with the bumper off and all then all fitted up

You can see how many stone chips there on the bumper!

All painted and fitted!

Not much of an update due to the weather. Ive got my new centre section for the exhaust system, went for a genuine silencer in the end as my girlfriends bro works for peugeot and got a very good deal!

Will fit it next weekend because its currently in the car which is covered in snow as the picture below shows :lol

New wipers, exhaust and tyres fitted, so as of today I finally got to use the car for the first time in a good few months! Took it for a small blast and hooked the Go Pro up to get a vid which il upload soon. I will get some more vids once summer is here and the tyres are scubbed up!

Only took a couple of pictures to show the new tyres, but didnt take any when i fitted the exhaust, but its only a genuine standard middle section so not very exciting!

Last thing I will be doing next week is colour coding the rear boot badge as the rattle can paint I used before has flaked so il get it painted with a spray gun at work.

Enjoy a couple of pics
