just to update this, done a couple more bits to it now. changed the air intake pipework and replaced the airbox with an open cone filter. just need to get it on the dyno to see if it has made any difrence to it or not. it makes a nice noise though and feels like it revs more freely so im happy. fitted new osram bulbs too so no more yellow looking headlights and they actually give out some light now which is quite handy at night. They also match the white led's so doesnt even look out of place like some bulbs you see on cars :) its been silenced a bit aswell as it was too loud before, got a video of it too which is before it was silenced

Needs a new intercooler now so might aswell upgrade it. not a nice sound when 1 of these hits the front of your car at 60-70 on the M25











Could easily see the entry hole but at the time we didnt know what it was and couldnt see an exit hole so guessed what ever it was must still be somewhere in or on the car. As the ramp went down i noticed it wedged behind the alfa badge. went in bottom left of the bumper and found it top right so it rattled around for a bit
