Looks really good, should go well! Get a lower front strut brace on there too mate, doesn't sound much, but for Ł40 it makes a noticeable difference, as it stops the subframe flexing as much. Also doubles as a sump/gearbox protector!

turboroots

needs a new rad aswell going to call alan (autospec) this week
