Well done, in the past you might of spent £7200 on those parts and fitting.

Right, for all you bitches that climaxed as soon as I mentioned the words "after market" on my Nivomat for sale thread, here's what I've done to the car so far within a few weeks of owning it:

16T Turbo
ME7 Manifold
Downpipe
Cat-back
New shocks & springs all round
New front top mounts
New front Volvo discs and Volvo pads
Replacement front control arms
New tyres, immaculate wheels
T5D5 Re-map
Plugs, dizzy cap, rotor arm, leads
New tailgate struts
Roof rails
Oil/filter/air filter change
Top engine mount
...


All for less than £400!

Edit: turbo/manifold/downpipe replaced due to old 15G pissing out oil. Cat-back changed for a standard 850 T5-R one without a gaping hole in, shocks are cheap Eurocarparts replacement ones, lowering springs free courtesy Qady, top mounts are Eurocarparts SKF ones bought for a VERY good price, Volvo discs & pads from Tim at a very reasonable price, front control arms from an 850 T5-R that didn't have torn bushes, standard top engine mount from an 850 T5-R, new plugs leftover from my T4 + 1 spare from Tim, tailgate struts from another 850 T5-R, immaculate roof rails from another 850 T5-R

I think I've been quite good so far!

So in the space of a month or so, you have done what has taken me almost 5 years to do to my car LOL.  Nice car, when are you selling?
