Haven't updated this in quite a while, just been enjoying the car and driving it far too much over the last 9 months.
Few changes made just to improve the car however over the course of the last few months.
The old gearknob was disgusting, was worn through and the top was starting to fade. Wasn't a massive fan of the standard look so I bought a 6 speed manual knob from a USA version F10 M5, removed the leather piece from the surround on bottom and reused the old plastic. Fitted and it has improved it massively. Still illuminated, but weighted and now a shorter throw. Actually worked out cheaper than the original too.
Also popped in a new power/TC switch panel as the old one had fallen apart.

Any reason you didn't go aftermarket on the undertray? That's next on my list to do.Haven't updated this in quite a while, just been enjoying the car and driving it far too much over the last 9 months.

Went on to fit some tegiwa downpipes, removing the primary cats and then got the car tuned by evolve using their remote service. Absolutely transformed the car, and can definitely feel an improvement over stock. In my haste I neglected to take photos of the process so you'll have to trust me on that one.

Final little improvement was the front splitters. Tried to fit a set a few months back but they were horrid and didn't fit at all, so they got ripped off. Fitted these, with a full new OEM undertray as the old one was in tatters.
Next up will be some spacers, and a new OEM steering wheel
I had looked at them, but was struggling to get anyone to actually agree to send it over here. Was going to end up nearly £300 to get it here. Standard stuff was over £100 less and I'm a sucker for OEM lolAny reason you didn't go aftermarket on the undertray? That's next on my list to do.
Shame, as l think you would have a good chance to get in! Then we could park next to each other, that would be something else Definitely apply next year if you still have herI think I'll head down on Saturday afternoon for a bit, not in the show or anything like that.
Never been before so will be a first for me!
