Hey Everyone

Thought I would start a new thread which I will continue to use as a build/update thread.

Car has finally ticked over 1000k's so I have started to get a few minor mods started

First day involved an intense detail, Wasn't impressed with the job my local dealer did with pre-delivery. It was hard not to get straight in and start changing things but I knew I should just leave it at least 24hrs as a standard car.

Second day..

Blocked BOV ( Wasn't overly loud so drilled out 10mm hole, Much more vvssshhhh tututu's )

4" Aluminum Muffler Cone Replacement Pipe

Began installing KPM Intake but due to fitment issues and frustration I gave up.

Third day..

King Springs SSL and SSSL. Perfect height I think, is practical, Have not had any issues with scraping *Yet* ! I have no intention of replacing the shocks at the moment, Im going to wait for more power and see how I go for traction?

Following Weekend..

Sort out KPM Intake and fit properly.

I Have then just done a few small things, Replaced Dealer number plate surrounds with some clear perspex ones, More layers of wax and cleaning of minor marks and imperfections. Removed Rear Spoiler, Im still decided what I want to do there? Thoughts? Something slim line..

Here is some pics. Enjoy..

Looks great man, would be the colour I get and do white/black contrast. Dark tint, black wheels with some dish, along with the black insert in the bar, awesome look IMO. Intake looks killer too, massive haha

Have you looked at the bobtail for spoilers? Personally think they look like crap and too chunky. Whereas G6E lip spoiler is perfect, get the holes covered and painted, get the lip spoiler on and looks schweet!

G6E/GTE spoiler..same same haha

White looks killer on the FG's with the contrasting black bits and dark tint on the windows. A G6ET/GTE rear lip spoiler would set it off just nicely, as well debadging of the boot and doors

Did the KPM/FPV intake make much of a difference power and noise wise?

I agree with G6E spoiler, but would wait till you get wheels.

As is would look awesome. Nice clean semi-stock looking, would make it look like an M or AMG style version if you know what I mean. Upmarket but sportier than G6E style sort of.

If you're gonna go black or dark wheels, wait and see how it looks, could change the overall package if all that makes sense?

Looks mint, clean looking and lowered nicely. Love it without the boot spoiler, keeping wheels or upgrading to 20s? Paint them black the stockies.

Was hard to tell because I stupidly put it on without having much time with the standard set up. Is very throaty, matched with the 4" intake pipe there is a decent amount of spool. If anything throttle response did improve, but my car is still new its hard to tell if its a gain or its just getting broken in.

Thanks for all the positive comments, I am thinking of painting those stock 19's a dark gunmental with a heap of metallic pearl through them OR Varrstoens or something alone those lines but going completely out their and painting them something fluro..

I have seen the bobtail spoilers on eBay which cover the existing holes which I think are a good idea, but im not sold on them. I will more than like just go a G6E spoiler.

Liking this thread a lot.

I think it looks great with that stance and those wheels. Just needs the Spoiler holes filled or G6E spoiler like mentioned before.
