Cheeky bastards! My home made ssp's plates worked on 90% of people's, the rest needed the linkage altering.
Justin, regards the garden ornaments, they're now been stopped, was becoming too much hassle regards material and tbh wouldn't of saved you guys that much £ over the JBR ones.

So apologies for the delay on pics, I've been doing a bit of work on the car and wanted it to be right before loading pics up :)

In the short time since buying the car I've done the following:

Cobb v3 ATR
Full vvt kit + oil & filter (loads of thanks to Chris- helped loads)
Replaced the spark plugs and posted a 'how to' on here
Wheels re refurbished by someone who's older than 5!
Black wheel nuts (was waiting for them so the reason for delayed pics)
Replaced the pas air bag cover as it was scratched
Front discs and pads
Ordered missing intercooler air ducts
Ordered the htp 3" intergrated maf inlet
Shortly contacting Justin for an etune :)

I'll be happy around 290bhp running the stock fuel pump internals as Ive gone mad with other cars and this one is the family motor. I feel 290 is a nice useable power for this car so there won't be any mad build thread but I do aim over time to make it absolutely perfect inside and out. Might need to put the kids in straight jackets so they can't touch the interior!

I'll post some pics up now anyway- no interior pics until the Cobb v3 is mounted properly as I'm using a vent mount at the min and it looks toss. When I fit the htp intake then I'll spend a good few hours on the engine bay showing before and after shots :)

All in all I'm loving the car I can't fault it and this OC is brilliant- everyone's great and really helpful, no keyboard warriors that I've seen.

Thanks for looking

So here are the wheels that were apparantly freshly refurbished by a 'reputable' company the dealer use! I'll let you decide if you think it's a job well done!

They did pay for the new discs and contributed towards the new refurb but the cheeky bastards said that I owed them a good testimonial for helping me out! That's while it was Christmas time and Id owned the car three days finding out the vvt needed sorting and the eng management light came on which turned out later to be the plugs.

I told them they were lucky I wasnt returning the car and reporting them. For anyone who's interested, they are woodcroftmotors and currently have my clio up for sale for £1600 more than they gave me for it!!- I bet they didn't even clean it after I dropped it off as they sure as hell didn't valet the mps before I picked it up! They also didn't even turn the key on the clio when taking it in part ex so that tells me everything about them.
