Picked up my car this morning... Just got back to the office. Drove from Strijdom Park to Rosebank in bumper to bumper traffic.
Front end looks sweet, clean and brand new. Just annoyed that they stuck my number plate with 2 way tape and not the Velcro i supplied. I will sort that out. Other than that, the color match is spot on. The job is accurate and amazing. Will take some pics soon and post up.
I saw the exhaust setup for the first time this morning and it is amazing. Alistair and his team know what they doing. Straight pipe with 2 bullet boxes. Only downfall is the boot is getting sooted up. But that's cool, i will sort that out sometime by turning the tail pipe a little towards the ground. Wont be noticeable to the eye.
I did manage to give it some stick and i love the sound. At idle and low rev, sounds like a petrol 6 cylinder, as you foot it it gets quieter and you hear the turbo spin. On normal driving, when the auto box changes gear it sounds like a DSG. And i can feel a performance increase (wont bet on it yet, could be the upgrade from the Sloyota talking)
Quick pic of the exhaust setup at the tail end.
Man o man, did i miss my car. Glad to have her back. This weekend i will focus on some TLC for her. Got a few small cosmetic items i need to add on and replace.

Thanks Guys!!!
I did make a small video of the cold start this morning, but i think the camera was too close to the car so the sound is distorting. I will upload it anyways.
A few pics of the front end coming up in a few minutes.
Before:
Tarnished badge and chips around the badge:
The worst:
After: (Excuse the filthy car, rained yesterday)
Will upload more detailed pics after a good wash. There are no chips, its just dirt.
And after one day of driving"
Got a love hate relationship with this exhaust now! Love the sound, hate the soot.

Thanks
Big difference up front. I love it. Car looks sooo much cleaner and better. Just need to get new grilles. The panel shop did not want to paint it. Said previous guy used the wrong paint and they didnt wanna sand it down and paint again as it might damage.
