Nice uppgrade.
Im going too do the same and change the rear end gears. What are you going too do whit the reading of the speedometer. I have heard that you need too re calibrate the speedometer and I have also heard that it aint neccesary. Im going too try whitout any calibration of the speedometer.
Cheers
Recalibration is not needed. Tyre size governs the speedo, not the final drive gear. The wheel speed sensor picks up the rotation of the driveshafts so the ring and pinion doesn't affect that. Changing the tyre size dramatically will though.

So I've been collecting parts ready for tomorrow, service kit via ebay and discs and pads via steeda. The pads arrived last week and the discs came today via their polish distribution centre. I had the car booked in tomorrow with Demon Performance but had to cancel, can anyone spot whats wrong? I'm so pissed off as I hate messing people about and was looking forward to getting these fitted.

Yup spot on there, waiting to hear back off Steeda, the discs came from them via a company called ozparts and they show zero stock for the fronts.

Excited to see how those bonnet vents turn out. Solid call on the gloss black, matt black is the only reason I've held off on them so far. Figured out where you're going to source the upper grille?

Not sure I’m going to change the upper grille at this stage. Not least as the Roush grill has to have a badge on it and I was hoping to avoid point the Roush badges on.

They're satin black (by choice), these are the ones from the old exhaust and i didn't bother to clean them as i was test fitting and then realised the tips that came with it didn't fit lol! (I'll clean them when i clean the car).

I love it to b honest, it's a massive difference to the exact same other bumper i had before which is crazy what just removing the texture did to it!
Wow that looks awesome you must be pleased with that result ?

just need some gloss black exhaust trims to finish the look now.

Are you not tempted with the black horse badge on the rear deck lid to keep with the red and black look ?

It’s coming on really well now I like the painted gloss black trims just hope they hold up ok for you with the stone chips.

I never thought I would suggest a body coloured badge, but I reckon that would really suit it :like:

just heard from Ron at STS imports, my mountain of parts has cleared customs and he's going to shove it on a pallet and get it shipped up to me now :) soon be time to get the engine out and start dismantling stuff. Guess now's a good time to sort a fuel system out too as thats the only bit I haven't done yet.
