Why don't you combine these into bigger posts? Have you found the limit for max images per post?

I'm guessing the default post limit on this board is something like 15 or 20. I'll try to look into it, either way thanks for posting pics!

Looks good! Was it hard to swap out the license plate bulbs for LED?

Its been awhile since I've updated,its been a nightmare couple of weeks! Going back a two weeks,the car was dropped off to have a custom 2.5" stainless downpipe made,as well as having my new Turbo fitted Had a friend pop over and gave me a hand fitting the coolant re-route Certainly not the cleanest of engine bays at the moment,but nevermind! Couple of random photos Took the car out for a drive to make sure I didn't have any leaks etc. Hadnt even done 10-15 miles and there was a cloud of smoke behind me. Removed the filter and checked the turbo and the turbo decided to fail! After speaking to the seller,I sent the turbo away to get it checked. After filing in a dispute with Paypal,and finding out the Turbo didn't have Garrett internals,the dispute got put forward to a case. Paypal decided to favour the seller. I'm not going into too much detail about the dispute,but lets just say i'm very very out of pocket right now. I've got a nice paper weight which cant be rebuilt as HKS no longer make that turbo,and I've got a downpipe that doesn't fit my turbo :/ I pulled the car apart Wednesday just gone (21/08/13) to do a series of engine flushes. The oil filter proved to be a massive head ache,tried both chain and strap type filter wrenches,waterpump pliers and stabbing a screwdriver through. Managed to get more leverage with the alternator removed and it finally budged! I've so far done two flushes,I've got another lot of oil and engine flush in. I've put the old turbo back on and currently driving it about. Once I've gotten a few miles on her,i'll then dump that oil and i'm praying that the metal filings will be gone. I've also fitted a magnetic sump plug to help things too. Also fitted some mesh to the front bumper

Finally sorted out the looped heater pipe,originally looked like this And now... Fitted a Driftworks 4pt Harness 3" webbing (ALOT better than my previous 2" Sparco) Re-painted the inner parts of the wings and fitted some neo-chrome counter sunk washers & bolts (matches the wheel nuts ) Also finally got round to changing the red silicone hose on the throttle body for a black one (no photo) Couple of random photos from last night
