Thanks mate, future plans are a new bonnet, Bonnet Bra is actually hiding damage not protecting it, I was just about to buy a Carbon bonnet, but clutch decided to play slippy games, so will have to wait a bit longer now

yes mate seen yours, mines got the climate pack now minus the headlight washers, and I think the seats are out the comfort pack, did have the sub aswell, but already have a better sound system in mine so didnt keep that.

Thanks, ever since I got the car I wanted to change or spray my bumper, my front bumper was that bad I didnt wash it when doing the car as it just upset me seeing it, Then oppurtunituy came up for a cheap collection bumper, and couldnt say no.. will look better once I finally get the bonnet I want. but will do for now,

Thanks mate, I did have a lot more orange whenI had standard bumper on, fog surrounds, washer jets etc, but once it was remove I actually fell more in love with it, I only used the orange at first to take peoples eyes of the sorry state of the standard bumper

Thanks, while I know many wont like it, those that do rally seem to love it, And I love it, which I guess is the main thing really..

I've seen these seats are now fetching the same sort of money as the Rs sparco's.

I tested these on the way home and heated parets are all working, but cant see me ever using them, never used them in my passed cars, but good to know they work if I ever sell them etc

Many say they are comfier & better looking too, I have never sat in the RS seats so cant comment on that side of things, but I deffo dont think blue would go with my colour scheme, going to spray the roof lining and all the door pillar plastics black when I get time, too.
