Welcome along mate,personally I'd go down the custom route with the exhaust,intake and tip along with recirc valve and short shifter /rear engine mount. Some mild mods there but decent ones. I'm just down in stirling so gimme a shout if you need a hand fitting parts or servicing etc.

300 is easily done.....
Stage 2 induction kit of your choice, k&n, corksport, sure etc etc
Recirc valve (not really needed as the oem adequate for 290-300 but goes well with the above)
2nd car delete
Re-map (Cobb access port or versatune is most popular recently)
That's it, 300.
