Just literally used my hand pulled the other off, lifted back box up and pulled the new one on after a bit of faffing. Then literally have to use your strength to pull it on.
It's easy enough mate more a brute strength thing lol

How loud is your Janspeed system mate? The system i had installed at MIJ the other day is really boomy! I asked for a mid-sport setup but its more basey and droney than when i drove it down with no backbox connected lol. Gunna give em a ring i think.

Janspeed isn't too loud, but to someone who don't like loud exhausts I wouldn't recommend one. Think you should give them a ring if you're not happy mate!

Only one pic from the photoshoot going for a better one soon though!
Today I polished the Janspeed up, box was tatty so polished the box too! next I'm working my way up the piping, sad I know but meh!
There isn't a chunk missing out of the surround believe it or not that's tail pipe reflections on the exhaust surround.
Last pic, what can you see through your mirrors lol!?

Maintenance update
Just purchased ;
Pagid discs and pads all around for the 180 & some Lemforder drop links.
While I was at it I also got some Denso Iridium plugs.
Next plans are... Eibach Sportline springs and torsion bar lowering, I'm not spending s**t loads on this although I will in the future be refurbing the alloys & going for an RSTuning remap.

Today my brakes came... Thanks to Edward for the recommendation!
Full Pagid Discs and pads, I was originally going for Front Brembo drilled and grooved discs but tbh I couldn't be asked with all that lol
I also got some Lemforder droplinks.
Mandatory tea inside the disc shot...

Thanks dude
I used AutoSol & Megz nxt gen metal polish mate, Autosol is very good probably the best out of the 3, I haven't used the Autoglym equiv but I'm sure it will be adequate! Out of choice though I'd go Autosol.

Thank you haha
Attention to detail is my speciality won a few trophies with another club for it
You don't have to do it all at once, split it up in to a list. Remember anything you can see others can see!
So if there is a spec of dirt on your slam panel or in a little gap remove it lol! The more detail that's not covered up with dirt that can be seen the more aesthetically pleasing it is! Same with adding parts and what not just document it well and make sure it's done to the best of your ability!
