Picking these up tomorrow, looking forward to getting them cleaned up and fitted over the weekend with the weather promised decent Image

Hopefully will get the bumpers colour coded aswell over the coming months and looking to get a spoiler aswell.

Anyone any recommendations of a decent body shop in the west of Ireland around Leitrim or Roscommon?Image

Yeah found it to be much better if you drive along at the same spped as i used to before when it was 75bhp, but now I have the extra power i find myself to be driving it on a slight bit and the fuel consumption is pretty much the same as it was before :)

Yeah definitely recommend it, 140 is plenty to get remapped to :D enough to feel a good difference without putting any extra engine parts at risk :D

This is the one that I ordered and its very simple. There is a bit that fits into the rear 2 cup holders which ya screw down with 4 screws and then the armrest clips onto that. Took me about 5 mins to get installed and very comfortable :D

Nice one, it's great to see someone win a vehicle they'll actually keep and use. I presume it was one of these competitions that are popping up all over social media?
