Hi Das Chin,

Looks mint mate, really happy for you. Condition on pics looks superb........out of interest, and you dont need to answer if you dont want to, but is she still on the original engine?

Cheers and enjoy

Ben

My OCD is twitching at those locking wheel nuts not being in the same place on each wheel...

My bad... Its was my Thread, though it genuinely wasn't meant to be silly, or cause anyone any issues!! I guess the issue with the internet is once you post on the internet you never know where the tread goes.

I think in the end though, as with my tread on here it has shown that you can not get a cheap CSL which is great for the owners.

Again, sorry if it encouraged some none genuine callers!

Nice to meet you nick, yes those clamps were a nightmare !!!!
Was good to see the Cesil's together.
Thanks once again Martin

car came with a dodgy flap (ooh err missus) set up on the CSL air box. previous owner kindly sorted out a new one under warranty and sent on.

its on hell of a unit:

off with the old:

the car used to run flap open all the time which was fun but I wanted a working sport button and response from the car so nice to have sorted.

getting car to where I want it to.

next up is to get cracking with the clay bar to really get a good shine on.
