Looks nice Matty,

Thanks mate 
I assume you mean the hydro dipping? The company I used are called Garnish based in Exeter and mainly despatch dipped items rather than collecting in person, there is a guy on fb under "Gti 180 owners" page called Ben who does hydro dipping who's more centrally based in the uk

Cheers mate, just had to give her a wash and polish the wings where the sp arches were  but tbh and you'll probably agree when you see pics later, the car looks better without them
my decat arrived yesterday  going to be a few weeks before it's fitted though as going to buy some lambda sleeves for it first
Just google hydro dipping and see where the closest one to you is, I bought parts off ebay and had them sent directly to the place who dipped mine and they sent them back to me

Take the SP badge off!
Number one it's bent 
2... way too much, keep the Zunsport or cut the zunsport out and fix the SP badge in place some way!
Looks good though Matty, engine bay bolts look nice that's on my list of to do's shame swampy off Saxp turns out to be a scammer (even though I had no issues previously) or I'd get some more bolts from him, where you get those ones dude?
Also, the lambada sleeve, is that the one you pm'd me? just gna make sure before I order it also, while I'm on the talk of the decat are you planning on fitting this yourself or taking it somewhere? wondering because it doesn't look like it will fit nicely from what I saw when taking a butchers yesterday. Beer could have confused my brain tho...

SP badge already removed mate 
keeping the zunsport as it is as it does look quite subtle
The bolts look awesome when fitted mate, so glad you talked me into going purple but these have a flip type look they were however expensive, cost me £57 for just 8 bolts 
the lambda sensor unfortunately doesn't say what size hole to drill so i just drilled a small hole then screwede it into the pipe, going to get a garage to fit it as i don't trust my skills plan to book it in next friday morning

Purple is the best colour in the world mate if I had black it would be the only colour for me
Glad you got shot of that SP badge, one or one or t'other really haha.
8 bolts for 57 quid wwwwwwhat would have been cheaper to anodise them yourself in VHT purple, (not as nice a colour mind).
Is it the sensor you pm'd me that you bought?

Yeah the purple is a really nice colour against the black
haha I know, bloody expensive but couldn't find any others that were a nice purple.
Yeah it's the same sensor I messaged you about, was sent in a massive enevlope lol

Well since the last car show the pug attended she has had yet more changes made
The honeycombe grille has been removed and a zunsport black alloy grille fitted, the pics were taken at FCS and show off the engine bay with it's new bling bling
Some people might hate them but I quite like them, especially in purple
New front sticker, in purple of course
Caught the "i" on the Gti180 badge so had to remove it all together, looks alright tbh
Few random pics of the pug on the drive to FCS and at the show itself
Since coming back from FCS i've decided to go black led's on the rear and to start saving for a respray, coilovers and a new set of wheels all for FCS 2015
