LOL.
Looks great TBH Uz. Not really big on the Euro scene, but those MAM's do look lush.

Thanks Graham... appreciate the comment
Yeah, the euro scene is a marmite one, and personally I have my likes and dislikes about it as well. The MAMs are a part of this car for me tbh. They were the first set of wheels I wanted on it, after seeing Ross' GT with them fitted. Just glad I got them back, but bit of a shame I could restore them to previous condition from the state they were in

Bit more progress on the SW...
Picked up the Mattigs and engine cover and got them fitted...
Now onto the audio... been looking at variations on what I can do. Want to keep it nice and simple yet, so been looking at the following;
Front doors - JBL P6560c 2 way Components
Rear doors - JBL GTO529
Boot - JBL CS1004T 10" Passive Bass Tube
Now I've got a 4 gauge wiring kit already wired in and front doors having wiring ran to the boot. Rear speakers will be hooked up via standard wiring to the headunit, as you can run wiring for the amp to them.
Amp wise I was looking at;
Front Door Components - JBL GTO-752
Sub - JBL GTO-3501e
Headunit wise, I'm looking at getting a IDA-D106R or the CDA-9887R.
Let me know what you think.

So, the cars up on axle stands so while it is I thought I'd crack on with getting the intake pipe work sorted and routed...
With having more room at the front of the bumper I've chose to place the filter just behind the openings for the grilles.
The pipeworks been ran around the passenger side flitch and up back to the intake...the pipework you see is part of the bits for the intake itself. The remains that are going to arrive mid next week will finish it up.
Using the same stuff as I used on the XSI so I could build up something similar and all the pipe work is aluminium.
Main reason for doing this is because the original box was broken in the accident so thought I'd might as well get this done and can eventually turn all this pipework into the pipework for an intercooler.

You probably need to open your eyes, there's plenty of cool estates about.

Thanks for the comments Guys & Shell.
Bit of an update... had the remains of the pipe work arrive this morning and got to work after I'd got home from work and finished sorting out the route etc...
So going to get my mikalor clamps etc ordered up and get brackets sorted over the weekend so its all ready to go.

So after a lot hell of alot of perserverance, screaming, shouting, blood, sweat and tears, I managed to finally get both the front arches fitted to both wings with self tapers to hold them in due to the arches being made for not sport wings. Than adhesive to fix the arch to the wing and 11 mole grips to hold it into shape while it all set.
Once they were on I had to file down the ends to get the shape perfect as the arches were to long... I've also had to raise the front by 30mm but not it's settling I'll drop them by 15mm...
Eitherway... here are the pics...
Also looking at getting a set of Dare DR-RS over Christmas in 8Jx16" ET15 fitment and pair them up with 195/40 R16 tyres. That way I can get the car sitting better and more importantly lower. Will also be looking at getting the faces sprayed up in Velvet Purple.
Also while that sort of in the pipeline, I'm also looking at getting a Sport front bumper so I can fit it up with some yellow fogs, honeycomb grille from the GTi180 with Purple Velvet Strips and a Leon Cupra R Splitter. Be running this on a daily basis as I can see the GT bumper being ripped off within minutes.
