Final results after the map was 322hp at the wheels 375hp calculated at the fly. Really happy with how much extra power it has and the way it drives.


I couldnt stand the look of the intercooler pipes in bare metal so i decided to paint them with VHT wrinkle plus paint. Really happy with how they came out.



I'm sure you've all seen the flutter thread but i ended up swapping out the BOV to a Tial unit



After the success with the intercooler pipes and the rocker cover in need of a refurb i decided to give it a go my self and again really happy with the results. I also did the spark plug cover with a rattle can and cant really complain at the finish but i'm not sure how long the coating will last.





I have been toying with the idea of extra carbon so picked up a set of carbon side extensions. The fit is amazing and i decided to use riv nuts to install so that i can take them on and off as and when needed.



And finally i picked up a set of OEM mats from Hendy as I've been using some out of a fiesta i pinched off my mrs for the last year and they had been bugging me as they really didn't fit.



Got a spoiler on order and will be off the the ring soon so a few more update to follow.

Forgot to add that i fit an oil catch can, picked it up from ebay and i'm amazed at the quality. Was advertised as cnc machined from billet and i can believe it. I originally ordered one in black with two ports but changed my mind and wanted to run a vented system so sent it back and got one with three ports. unfortunately they didn't have one in black so i ended up with one in blue and i wasn't that impressed with the colour but its function over form so it will have to do.

Very nice! Any links to the catch can, and the clamps you've used to pair up the hoses?

Thanks
Chris

Car looks great! where did you get the VHT wrinkle paint from? Did you use etch primer first as a base coat?

lots of people sell it, it's called VHT wrinkle plus and no it needs to be applied to bare metal
