Billkent22 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Another few pics after a good clean today.Ive done the usual i.e. bump strip removal, fitted a guna splitter and de-badged the boot. Not too fused with the fogged bumper tbh to much hassle for what its worth!Also fitted the inlet and fuel rail/injectors to the new lump. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g308/billkent22/The%20estate/7f0a1cb5c6c7863330e112f5dc9ce082.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g308/billkent22/The%20estate/24b3dd1385dbafea30e14ae472c4ccb0.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g308/billkent22/The%20estate/1d291b208d46a961ada6b578d3ff05ea.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g308/billkent22/The%20estate/52026302a6eab56ec05e2308f109054a.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g308/billkent22/The%20estate/26f4bbf6b15f41e96de143a061d7b751.jpg Next up plans are to get the god awful mismatch on the boot painted before all my friends starting callin me 'patch'And fit the 300mm upgrade that is due to turn up any day!
