1st up: Change side repeaters (Supplied by Justin-172)
Next - Stick CS Internal website link sticker (Supplied by f0xy)
Approx a month after owning the Ph1, my backbox decided to drop dead. (Apparently a known fault on the Ph1, I was told from other members on the forum.
So I decided to get the damm thing replaced.
Ended up spending some good money on a full cat back quiet stealth exhaust (Supplied and fitted by Torque Exhausts in Enfield, North London 020-8805 9995). THe back box does not hang off, its nicely tucked in, out of the way. I need to take pics of it.
Even Mike at Rentech was impressed from what he saw last month.
Next up I ordered a few little things:
I next purchased 40mm Apex springs (Supplied by Christopher).
I never got round to fitting them, and from what was said by other members on the forum, that the Apex give the car a harsh ride, I quickly sold them.
I thing decided I buy a bit of bling.
Fitted a Polished battery cover (Supplied by Tim).... Pics to follow once I have got myself a new engine cover fitted.
When I had my MOT last year October I was told that I migth need to replace my brake discs, so I ordered and fitted a new brake setup from Rentech.
Brembo HC discs, Ferodo Pads and braided lines. Must say Dave @ Rentech did a top Job.
2 months later, I got a 36,000k Mile service carried out my Mike @ Rentech.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since then I havent bothered doing anything to the car until now!!!
I thought its time I got my finger out and complete the job I started, so ordered a few new items which have now arrived.
1. Get rid of all the door dings/scatches on the passenger wing sorted. (Bodyshop based in Lordship Lane/Tottenham 020-8808 0070)
2. FK Konigsport Coilovers (Supplied from a good contact given by Neil aka Ph-reebone) £500 delivered!! I got them on Saturday and Rentech are due to fit them this coming Friday!!!
3. I sourced myself a Ph2 172 rear bumper which arrived yesterday (It's in Flame Red, which I need to arrange to get resprayed ASAP!!
4. Jordan/f0xy ordering me a few bits for FCS
5. A surprise that you all will have to wait for, I probably will not post pics of what will be done, so you'll probably see it at FCS.
Thanks for reading so far.... Updates and pics to follow.

Next up I ordered a few little things:
- Ph-Quick Bonnet and SideSkirt Decals, oh and one mini one for the rearview mirror (new style). "Waits for others to copy"
- Silvervisions for front and rear lights
- Ph2 Rear lights
