Thanks! Yeah id appreciate that, trying to do as much as I can myself without taking it to a garage unless it engine upgrades.
- Definitely looked into the shorter aerial is it an easy fix? Ive never actually used radio, always use Spotify on my phone lol.
- Any links to the gel badges?
- Yeah seen the diffuser just wondering how hard it is to fit it!
 
Tape link is here mate: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0042XXM8S/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_3p_dp_1


Yeah simple swap bud, I've got to get a new one as the richbrook one I put on has terrible reception.
I'm the same always using Spotify but like the option of the radio to be there just incase.

Heres the link to the gel badges:

Yeah the rear diffuser isn't as simple as i thought it would be, not a straight swap. There was a step by step thread on here by a guy but can't remember his name. Will try to find it.

Just ordered that tape too, cheers for the link mate.

OK so here's a little step by step. I haven't removed the headlight for this but will give you an idea, it is pretty straight forward to be honest mate.

(I don't know how these pictures are going to lay out as I'm doing it off my phone so I'll number them)

All you need is a flat head screwdriver, a philips screwdriver, cleaning wipes to get off dirt and grease and finally a dry cloth of some sort, such as a microfiber.

Step 1:

Open the bonnet (obviously haha) locate the 3 screws securing the headlight (picture 1) and undo. Two main screws can be undone with a flathead and then the smaller screw at the front with a philips (pictures 2 and 3).
Take note of the front bracket where the philips screw comes out too and how the headlight bracket slots underneath a plasic lip of the front bumper. Don't get mixed up with resting the bracket on top when you reinstall the headlight.

1517839313091.jpg

1517839320765.jpg

Step 2:

Once the screws are out there is one more component securing the headlight. It's a white clip underneath the headlight (picture 4).
To release, first lift up the headlight from the rear (nearest the windscreen) and gently prise the headlight up. You'll hear a loud snapping noise but don't panic it's just the clip releasing. Once that has release you'll have room to unclip the plug for the lights (picture 5).

1517839331754.jpg

1517839340225.jpg

Last little point to make is that there are 2 small glass lips which is part of the glass headlight lens that slots under the brow of the bumper when the headlight is installed. It's around the area marked on (picture 6). You need to make sure that is slotted back in when reinstalling the headlight.
Found a picture online that shows them (picture 7)

1517839301465.jpg

1517839180755.jpg

And that's it, the headlight is free.

Step 3:

Once the headlight is out, give the glass a good clean and wipe over with the cloth and it's ready to apply the eyebrows.

** Get an idea of how to place it first before taking the backing paper off the 3m strips.

Step 4:

Reinstall the headlight making sure you slot the front bracket under that lip of the bumper, and also insure the glass lips slot back under the headlight area of the bumper.

Make sure the bottom of the headlights slot back in to the white clips too as they have room to move about on the bracket they are mounted on.

Lastly pop your screws back in and job done.

Hope that helps out bud, an issues or confusion just give me a shout.

I too do not use the radio much, so I bought a new 'stubby' aerial and have had no problems with it.

It was a cheap fleabay one:

The radio works perfectly!

Quick update: just got the springs home.

Saturday I’m going to NKE Performance to get the springs added to lower the car, the blow off valve fitted and both top induction and secondary hose pipes, they’re also replacing the reflector too.

will be plenty of pictures after Saturday morning!

Photo of new pipes:

Untitled-1.thumb.jpg.b8580fe76be8006148864923dd83b077.jpg

Videos of new engine noise:

The videos really dont do the noise justice, its a lot louder in person.

PS. You can kind of hear the exhaust but I will get an exhaust video but neighbours complained about noise lol.

Looking good mate.

You got any pipes leading from the front to you induction? Just wondering about the induction sucking in warm air from the engine bay.

Thanks! No mate, the one I bought never came with any extra pipes and every picture I’ve seen with that setup has it like that?
