sounds like a good plan. are you keeping the bumpers standard/standardish colour or having them respyed the same colour as the car?

also green stuff pads dont seem to be highly rated from what ive read.

Yeah keeping them anthracite looking for a mint front sr bumper mine has seen better days, Was going to use greenstuff because thay dont make as much brake dust and would be better for the alloys.

Its not standard it has coutenay cams and has been chiped

cams wont do sod all mate unless its been ported etc, but i can see it getting 180bhp is easy in a xe, boost vale,powercap,filter and superchip your there.

and im liking what your doing to it, just keep going mate, red-tops very tuneable engines

Looking good, you going to change the exhaust at all? I just feel it lets the back down, even if you just get a standard GTE/GSi back box with the oval exit it would finish it off :thumb:
