That first bit they got on, it was sideways all the way up the straight goin side to side but they cut it short.

The spinning out happened a lot too though, lol, but to be fair, the weather was shocking and everyone was spinning out anyway, even the best guys.

Why do you need pictures when it's on the video chip posted, it was the whole point of this post although that seems to have passed you by. You cant miss it, its the only nova on it. Just look for the stickered up chav mobile.




















Only joking chip, your cars quality

any pics of the conversion chip

Not really got a lot, but these give a vague idea:

Intercooler mounted underneath the car (thanks to creedy off here for moving the pipes for me)
