Looks really good, I think it just about carries off the carbon bonnet.

Do me a favour would you, where you posted the link earlier to where the Trophy boot spoiler came from, i'd be interested in buying one if you can verify the fit is good. I have a replica one on mine, but if you look along the leading edge of the spoiler when you open the boot, it ever so slightly rubs the roof on a 2" section and scrapes the paint. Its not really noticable unless you look for it, but it bugs me....its like a flaw in the mould they were made from that has that bit raised 1 or 2mm more than the rest of the lip. I've seen two others with the same copy spoiler with the same problem in the same place.
If i could get a non-catchy one, i'd happily ship it from the land of the rising sun.... being of that age group the opportunity to "overnight parts from Japan" would be too much to resist haha

The fitment on mine is great, the leading edge doesn't catch on the edge of the roof.

With the trophy spoiler you should run the BMW 1-series bonnet struts to avoid the top of the spoiler touching the roof when fully open.

Or just fit the Ph2 boot struts.

Had some lovely weather over here recently and had the car out on the road and also some car shows.

No massive updates, just some ph2 wheel. Need some slightly larger spacers on the rear to match the fronts but a work in progress.

Hey, nice wheels!

 

[frayz]

This looks so much cooler because its so far from home.
Seeing a V6 here in the UK is kinda "meh".

Seeing one all that way over the pond is mega. Love it

The BMW ones are about a 10th of the price....

Hey, nice wheels!

Thanks, some random nice guy sold them to me!!

What do people think of it out there?

People love them but are a little shocked at the price. People in Canada can be sooo cheap lol

At the shows people comment lots about how it's their favorite car on display and are excited to see one in person.

I have, it still catches as it open, sort of about a third of the way open.

Has anyone asked if it's a Williams yet ? (seriously)

actually no! most people walk to the back of the car and look at the badges.

I must just find special people, I've been asked several times

Added onto the list of cars I have to own; V6 Clio.

Looks great, nothing like a rare car!

Keep the carbon bonnet - I think it adds to the car.

[frayz]

Thanks! It replaces the secondary cats in the collector section so it should be pretty darn loud.

The exhaust has arrived in Canada. Looks like it was test fitted and had one heat cycle through it. Like new condition and the welds look amazing. I'm delighted!

 

[cat171]

Installed ... Videos to follow

So after 7.5 years of ownership and 7,000km added to the old girl - It is overdue a cambelt, so that is one of my winter maintenance activities.

Hopeful to chip away at it over a few weeks and should have the locking tools arriving in a week or so. Have some other items to address like a coolant flush, oil change, starter motor replacement and a couple of other items.

A small start...

@E11OOT - have you had the uprated coil packs fitted to this as well? I got to be a dab-hand at swapping out the standard ones on a Phase 2.

Seems to be an integral part of V6 ownership!

I swapped the OEM ones out when I got car when I did the first service. Keep a couple of the OEM ones in the glove box just for longer trips.
