Running 165bhp with boost controller, Seb2 chip, FMIC, Bailey's DV, Pipercross induction, nice wobbly exhaust... I'll be surprised if it lasts me until March when the MOT's due!

Don't get me wrong it needs some work doing, looks better in the pics lol. But the parts are pretty much worth £800 alone anyway...
If I keep it for a while I would consider yellow boot, CF bonnet and black and white (or yellow) roof. Then again it does sound kinda shit when I say it lol.

If it lasts six months without any problems I'll be amazed but I'm hardly gonna use it tbh, I'm only doing around 5 - 10 miles a week these days!

just be careful there not to bad, they have a bad rep because of the boost junkies putting on bleed valves and just turning up the boost

Yeah just found I can get a full service and cambelt change for £150! That's great to hear after owning a 182FF 
Oh and just found out my boost controller isn't currently plumbed in properly so only running @ 0.8 bar which is good because that means it can get faster lol.
