well my joy-tuning body kit is getting fitted on friday by the pro's after me and my mate had no joy.:bang: the front bumper is about 3 cm out on 1 side which isn't alot but its enough as on driver side front wing it just dont fit flush.so we then tried the back and thats even worse the brackets dont match up either side so booked it in to the body shop.so should be sorted by next weekend.

so after the kit is fitted and sprayed looking to get some extra bhp already have my pipercross induction kit fitted but still cant make my mind up about exhaust it needs to come out the normal side exit as kit has big open on that side.thinking more and more maybe janspeed system and janspeed 4 branch Manifold dont know how much extra bhp it will give.

oh as for performance then a gsr induction kit to replace that one.tricker 40mm throttle body,mkritch chip,punto 75 cam are all recommended.supersprint also do a manifold or you could just drop in a 1242 for a better base.

no just to fit it they said its going to take a bit of modifying.so wot you think about exhaust then you ever seen a cinq with a janspeed does it sound any good.

i have,bloomfieldliam(probably spelt that wrong :eek: has one fitted.theres a few of the shelf ones that exit where you want.
or you could look at a custom on like powerflow,longlife if you have a specific design in mind.

he still sells them, and they are very easy to fit assuming you have an ECU where the chip can be removed easily. What year is your car?

your best looking through the stickys in the cinq section as most of this stuff has been done loads of times.

and if you ask about a turbo i'll have to slap you with a kipper ;)
