'To do'
I plan to replace the existing pads with some Brembo pads at some point as mine seem very average compared with the mrs' vRS standard brakes which stop on a sixpence!!!
I was planning on getting the car remapped once the warranty was up in 2009 but since having the Dragon box on i've decided i'm happy enough with the extra performance that gives. So i'm gonna save myself the £400-odd that the remap was going to cost and put it towards something else.
One last cosmetic mod may be to replace the rear FABIA & vRS wording with the new style wording from a new fabia and the vRS badge from an OctyII as they are both approx the same width.
