    Looking mint! Quick question about shaving the number plate mount. Is it just solid plastic all the way through? Or is there a recess that needs to be filled once you shave it off?

    Thanks and enjoy your new freedom

    Cheers pal. nah, once you cut the recess out you have to fill the hole. We used the cut out bit and set it in flush, then a skim of filler to smooth it over nicely.

    Yeah I work at British aerospace as well, well we say work... haha. Thanks for the comments! really happy with how its sitting at the moment. Its a Milltek cat back on now but I'm hoping to purchase a downpipe in the new year to complete the system. It seems that a lot more 9n's and 9n3's are popping up over here now!

    Haha nice! Would make a sweet photo shoot with them both, but not much chance of that!

    Well a bit of an update!
    Arms fixed and starting to get movement back out of it ;D

    And the new exhaust is burning in nicely and producing a sweet note with a few pops and burbles here and there.

    Got a few new shots at the weekend too









    And tonight I came up with a more permenant fitting of my gauges using a bit of plastic I had in the garage
