Very nice...i drove an anniversary MK5 a few weeks back...i was expecting the extra 30bhp it had over my 197 to set my pants on fire but i lacked in nearly every single area that the 197 excels in...the only thing that it'd do better is motorway cruising which tbh i don't do that often.

But on a serious note..
Pete's 53' signature carnuba works rather well on blacks, blue's and darker colours from http://www.carwashnwax.com/ @ £23 its a bargain, you also get 10% off for being a CS member.
I took the airbox cover off (itg filter still in place) this afternoon, sounds rather good!
The hot air thing shouldn't be a problem due to where the airbox sits and it ONLY a piece of plastic.
Mine banged 198.6bhp standard...i fankya.
Those w@nks at my local stealer won't do the ECU remap, KANTS!!
Airbox cover off you say...hmm K&N down the retail park much LOL.
ITG panel filter or maxogen, YS exhaust with secondary decat, remap should see you about 15-20bhp i'd think, would give some nice mid range torque that the 197 really lacks.
H&R springs give the car a rather nice stance too.
