Sprint Blue shines even in the rain

I'v had the car for a couple of months now so can't resist but start letting it empty my bank account, booked in at MRC for an Inspection 2 service and full health check to then make some plans from there.
More than likely going down the route of intake flaps, pre cat delete and stage 2 map (still sitting on the fence with a carbon clean) so will see how that goes.
Did anybody else go down to the Piston heads Sunday service at Santa Pod? they took some decent shots on the way in despite the weather and dirty car as per below.

Looks spot on buddy. Love the titanium and black on the blue. I was so tempted to go for black on blue with mine. Decided to stick to the silver and get my 20's refurbed to match.
Ive gone down the same route as you mods wise. About to finally book her in for stage 2 as the precats, CC, de-flapped and P+P was done over the winter. Just need the stage 2 to bring it all together

I'v always had a thing for dark grey wheels, individual taste I suppose. The silver wheels definitely make the sprint blue look a bit more sophisticated though

The calipers have been refurbed in aluminum silver, makes the calipers look much larger behind dark wheels and adds a nice contrast too.
I think I saw yours down the bottom nearer the grandstand, possibly applying some tyre shine? not a fan of the wet roads on the way in washing it all off?

No complaints with me on that! your SIG says 385 on the rollers, was that when the pic was from? was that the car stock plus milltek?

Mines never been decoked. But it's driven hard most of the time. We had a few at a rolling road day last month. Another stock with milltek ran 387. Worst on the day was 363 guy hadn't serviced it for 2 yr

I'm in for a Full Inspection 2 at the same time as the health check so should hopefully help too, currently has de-resonated centre sections and standard rear boxes so as long as the rear boxes arent too restrictive and no other faults id like to hope (or pray) for 380 as a benchmark......

I have to agree with you on that! And i'd loved to have mine decoked and stage 2, its just such a shame that they lose so much power over time

Looks awesome mate. You thought about wrapping the silver window trims?. Quite an easy job. Did mine in about 2 hours
