very nice mate i need to get my engine out and get it gleaming like yours!!! red and white looks good!!!

what exhaust system you running?

regards

cheers mate,

there more polished bits under the bonnet now, will put a pic up later tonight.

exhaust is a full Piper system (mild steel - i'm too cheap to go for stainless lol ) with a 4 branch manifold too. sounds really nice, doesnt make your ears bleed but its a nice note.:thumb:

i got a full ashley with manifold and its a right pain in the bakside to get it fitting right, back box hanger dont seem to want to go where i want it aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!

sounds well just struggling at the mo?

updated engine bay shot, lots of polished bits:

Tidy car mate - Is it road legal ?

Good progress dude, where did you get that windscreen washer bottle from?

Looks really smart Mike, stick with the bonnet vents, there are a vauxhall item after all & blend in well to the look you are after.
Really liking the carbon interior panels! How much & where from?

Im really liking that. Theres something about a red gte that makes them look cool.

Liking the carbon bits too :cool:

What offset are the wheels? The fronts look to sit out from the arches a fair way unless its the camera angle.

Adam - wheels are an ET45, i see what you mean, that pic does look odd, but they dont stick out past the arches at all, well nothing like that looks anyway.

Wilson - Custom Solutions was where the washer bottle came from.

Carbon Panels from Mulsane Sport Cars / Performance Trim.

the car is road legal, its SORN jsut now and not seen the road in two years nearly but theres nothing on it that will fail an MOT or not be suitable for road use (other than my wee undersized front plate :D ).

ive decided that the bonnet vents will stay, not that its a big deal because ive got a spare bonnet that i'll get painted up with the rest of the car.

over the weekend, this is my to do list:
1) finish painting / laquering the drivers side floor
2) mount seats and harnesses
3) fit opposite sides carbon panels
4) get it up on stands to bleed brakes and swap exhaust hangers
