First update in a while, despite the cold weather it has been dry which let me get a couple of things done.
Firstly I removed the catch can as it was filling up much sooner than I thought, mostly with water. Meanwhile the little blue filter was getting clogged with oily emulsion from the inside. Basically it wasn't a good long-term solution, so I decided to run a 'elephant' hose straight down the side of the engine block and under the body to atmosphere. Had it in for about 700 miles with no issues, no clogging, freezing or smells in the cabin

No pictures of it but it's fairly self explanatory.
The rear roof spoiler is painted, looking awesome, but is still awaiting fitting. I've got the tigerseal and the know-how, I just need temperatures above freezing before I fit it
Last but not least I recently ordered a Whiteline RARB from Awesome-Gti and fitted it this morning

Went out for a drive on my favourite country roads near me and to say it improves the ride is a serious understatement. I noticed the difference almost immediately after leaving the driveway, far less body roll even at slow speeds. On hard cornering, holy crap, it holds the road like a bar of soap! The difference is amazing and the ride comfort is also improved. A tight corner you'd normally take at no more than 40, you take it at 55 and it feels like 30, so much more composed. Hands down the best £-for-£ mod you could ever do next to a remap in my opinion. It's the kind of mod you should have fitted months ago... What? You haven't fitted one? Why are you sat there? Go buy one!
Apparently it's adjustable, but I fitted it on the only setting I could see. The other two holes near the end are solely for reducing weight.
I've also got a set of X-type OE console bushes to fit very soon, the stock ones are buggered and are creaking regularly now.
Finally, I altered my number plate surrounds to look more subtle, partly because the word 'tuning' makes me ill.
Cheers!
