Well I got it back and a week later now getting noises from the front(see my topic) so took it back and the garage refuse to accept that the amount of issues I am having justify a refund so they are going to spend over £1k on parts and labour to fix it, including a lot of trim which is missing under the car and also fitting some lower/stiffer springs to the car.
Booked in for a week and then hopefully will be finally sorted, just need to decide on the wheel colour.
Plans for the car are:
Exhaust, standard is TOO quiet and doesn't hint at how fast you are going
Induction kit, either panel filter or something which is recommended
Remap, to make use of the above mods
Possibly uprated front brakes, either 4pots or something similar

Wouldn't bother with a panel filter, get a stage 2 induction kit if your mapping it too.

Cheers for all the welcomes, I will prob be asking about what is the best kit to get for the car etc in due course!
From what I have gathered, Cosmic blue seems to be either a rare or unwanted colour for MPS'

I was hoping that seeing it in the sunshine would show off the colour better than I have experienced with mine! I am surprised at how rare the colour is, can't decide if its a good thing or not after somebody called it "miserable eurobox blue/grey" :(

Well hopefully I am getting the car sorted now. Dropped it off at the garage today, the list of things needed are as follows:
New:
Steering rack
Power steering pump/motor
Engine mount
Clutch release bearing
Also getting the ecu reflashed with the original map, full alignment and some lowering springs.
Once I get it back, if its not better then I am just going to p/x it in against something else rather than try and fight against the garage :(
