Awesome photo's mate!

Will be good to see how she progresses!

Just so you know on GTis cambelt is due first either 4 years or 40,000 miles after all the trouble that the AVY engines have. Looking good!

Nice photos. Car reminds me of mine when I first got it :)

Oh right, well then it must of been done :S is it due again anytime soon?

Well it'd be due again next year, but I wouldn't go against believe it's been done or not, I'd just go straight to the garage and ask them to swap them, you don't really want to be facing bent valves as happened to neildo on uk-polos!

Really good pics.

The future plans look good, will you be keeping the same alloys or will you change them?

indeed :D car is currently in the garage, just to be checked over n to fix a few things. But car still feels great to drive and cant feel a problem :) touch wood of course! lol

So far so good then mate, well done! Go for some quality coilovers first, they are by far and away the best modification to make!!
