My 9 Fq360 WIP

[davy_gsr]

Well thought its a bout time i do a proper wip thread as having had the car a year now. Bought the car from a garage in falkirk with 18k on it and they put it throught major service at performance hq.
pics of when a got it..

The car then got new brembo discs and pads all round and mudflaps fitted.

Then bought a set of evo x wheels

Stripped the front to get to the plate holder off and gave the i/c a quick spray and radiator brackets

Gaz (plae) offered to detango my headlights. Which made a huge difference to the front.

Got chamelion to powder coat my 10 wheelsblack

I then was looking to get carbon sideskirts and back extensions but boaby69 had a carbon bonnet for sale in immaculate condition.. So went up for that. This massively changed the look.

At a rolling road day at phq found out the car has already been remapped to a safe 390bhp

I then got a set of eibach pro lowering springs

So got a gizzmo boost controller and a couple of other bits and went back up to see russ. Made 310/300atw and was delighted with the difference in the map. Also got pops and bang and launch control put in

Then went to get the car undersealed again and my bodyshop found a bit of rust so they stripped the car and showed me everthing that was bad. I couldnt belive it 5 years old

Got a phone call yestarday to say shes ready.. Happy days delighted to have it back some pics of the fix

Bought a cusco slam panel and had my bonnet off for the winter so got them to fit these aswell

Thats her back

Would like to thank everyone involved in getting to this stage so far

Thanks for looking, any comments welcome and will be more too come
