      Yeah I went for form over function :P toys are nice but I can live without them. Also, I far prefer the ZS grill personally :) Did almost go titanium though, it was close!

    Driving home tonight pulling out of a junction I kind of wish I had the st, as the zs power before the turbo kicked in feels slow!

    But then...

    Got onto the dual carriage way and all was forgiven, give the car some revs and stretch the gears out and it flies! Can only imagine how savage the st is aha

    What sort of revs do the turbo kick in it?

    1.5k - 2k, and when it does it's a great car. I guess a remap or induction kit could improve the lower revs and lag

    having a remap doesn't improve the lower down revs and lag if anything it lags a bit more!! I have a map on mine and it's running 140bhp and lags the same!!

    Ah fair enough, what's the 140 like? Much different in speed?

    yeah there is a massive difference but where you notice it the most is in 3rd gear it pulls so much harder in 3rd!! Must buy if you were looking for a bit more power!!

    as far as I know there is nothing out there to make your drl lights whiter!! Because if there was I would have them!! Haha and I've got xenons as my beam in mine police don't even notice them because the main beam headlights are projected lights so it's kind of legal in away!!

    Think it's a struggle to find decent replacements for the H15 bulbs.

    Ordered a richbrook aerial tonight so will post some pics up when it's fitted, was only 15quid off of amazon

    Plans for my car are

    Triple r composites front splitter

    Blue or red interior footwell bulbs

    White number plate bulbs

    S badge for front grill and probably for the boot aswell

    Fit my wind deflectors off my mk7

    And possibly change the front light bulbs for whiter ones

    Keep an eye open ;)
