Hey sounds like a fun weekend, how is it to fit any issues?
You should post some pics.
yeah ditto, i had to cut a bit here and there especially on the drivers side fog light grill, the tubing really is cramped in there, and for those who are reading, dont be to afraid of cutting a bit into to the top right hand and top left hand parts of the front grill when it asks for it, remember the bolts on the intercooler stick out quite a bit (5mm at least) and if you dont cut enough its a pain trying to push it on give your self some le way , you cant see it from the out side anyway . good thing i brought a dremel. ive also found a easyer and some what safer way to remove those 4 pins under the car too with out breaking them. you can actually slip a flat head screw driver in between the engine cowling and the plastic radiator housing, that way it will remove the entire pin instead the fiddly little bit in the middle. once its out use a t10 hex key to push it out. to put them back in (which is also a pain) use the blunt end of one of those short and stumpy screw drivers, and push it in. those lil pins are extremely easy to break so dont be tempted to bang them in. also before you put the bumper back on , skip a few pages ahead and it will tell you that some cars may need to cut a small piece out of the bumper from the front drivers side, and some may not. i find it very hard to belive that anyone got it on without cutting, so cut it before putting on the bumper and save you the hasel of putting on the bumper then taking it off again.sorry i know im waffling, take a very close eye on how the horn is situated before moving it, that side is very pracariously placed with the horn and fog light assembly. one more thing i know this may be a simple idea but if your a lil mechanically challenged, get yourself some take aways and as you take the screws off number the step from which you got them on the forge instructions , thta way youllnever mix them up.

Pined that I havn't driven it for 3 weeks, and that dad gets all the fun with it, ahh well, only 7 months to go... It got serviced the other day too (45,000km).
I have however been looking at parts for it, and been doing some ordering...
