Shit that was expensive!
I paid near 2k less for mine and got all the goodies.
Have you checked the rear doors? They are known for leaking, easy fix just takes a bit of fiddling.
Lovely cars though, mine is remapped and goes very very well, and still does 55+mpg.

Get a video up of the mufflerectomy
Also don't you think the car feels slower with the air filter on? I had the same filter on my Ibiza FR PD130 and just didn't feel as torquey?

I took my filter off my pd130 as it felt laggy, went to a green cotton element but now using standard Ibiza ones again as found the difference was very minimal

Fair does, mine is standard bar the map.
Have fun
Also, don't rely on the computer for your MPG figures, sat at 70mph on the M5, for over 150 miles, I get 101mpg apparently.
