So quite alot progressed today.

To start with the front of the car was stripped down:

Struts as removed from car - dirty and looking tired:

Cleaned, painted and assembled with new Pure Motorsport top mounts:

Strut tops drilled and paint covered to prevent issues in the future:

All fitted and matching strut brace fitted:

Also got rid of the standard induction system including the acoustic valve setup:

Whilst the front end was off I painted the following in satin black:

- cup splitter
- fog surrounds
- upper grill
- lower grill

A nice little bargain also turned up courtesy of my brother (Matty1995)

So what are my impressions on the upgrades - turn in is now much nicer and nasty top mount knock has now gone. ITG sounds nice, not intrusive and feels slightly smoother.

Just waiting for my spacers to arrive and possibly a few other bits may find there way onto the car.
