You didn't put build or project in the thread title
Purposefully!

Build implies building something, like an engine, which i'm not... and projects normally have a defined scope and end date as you know

Gook, don't think so but thanks

Mug3n, I really don't like wings, but remember I won't be driving the car on the road... if I do, the wing will be removed and in the passenger seat. Function over form in the cae of wings, a necessary evil, and the APR does perform well. Not saying i'm buying one of those though

R8byb, it's a Hamp filter. Don't use them, it got put on in an emergency. Details of what i've bought will be put up when i've installed them, but there's a fair few parts in my garage now

So I wasn't too far off you would get more for parts e.g. turbo

Just didn't figure on you then keeping it

Yep I think that was always the case, Rog, and i'm pretty sure I could have sold the car as a whole. But then I though trackday season is coming, decided I didn't want an expensive track car like a CSL or Exige again.... and well the rest was easy

While i've got the bumper off, though I'd fit some J's racing brake cooling ducts

I will need to run some ducting / hose from them through to the brakes themselves. Some head scratching required there... the plastic panels on the car will need cutting, and the actual hose supporting somehow, without fouling the wheels at full lock.

I'm also a clean freak so the whole bumper is going to be cleaned and polished. Lots of grime behind it. Same for the engine bay from where I had an oil leak.
