Yes, as Olli stated...its a euro bumper but I removed the black rubber strip and filled the holes. If the car was any other colour but white I wouldn't have bothered doing it but the black strip stood out far too much for my liking against the white. I will post a pic of the engine bay when I get the chance...

Hey now,
My motor is completed, its just not broken in, and tuned perfectly yet.
The shop doesnt want to give it to me until its broken in, just in case anything happens. Eh, the sacrifices we make to ensure, we "are in good hands" I guess.
edit: I guess tuning, and break in, could be considered necessary to completion.

The 3.0 is back home! Picked it up from the shop today. All I can say is wow! Its fast! The shop has insisted as part of my warranty, that I keep boost to .8 bar. Cant wait to see what a difference a few more pounds makes. Picked it up in the early evening, just got back from driving couple hours ago.
Has a little bit of lifter noise, mech says that it has been getting quieter, and if it doesnt go away by 1000 miles, theyll be pulling it, and replacing it. I think the TT bearings are starting to go too.
Oil will be changed, and everything inspected at 1000 miles, Ill also be able to turn up the boost at 1000. Pics tomorrow hopefully. Should be sunny, and clear.

Tone, Great to hear that you got her back home now. Love to see some pics.
Mine is still on the shop I had to do a complete engine rebuild but should be done in a few more days.
Cheers, Joel

Fuel pressure regulator.
Anybody in this group running a "rising rate fuel flow regulator", if so who is the manufacture and are you happy the the results it produced.

Why do you want a rising rate FPR?
IMHO a rising rate FPR is a biiiig no-no, that stuff should be handled through an engine management system. A rising rate FPR is for low-tech tuning
