    Bumper alignment

    Mine does that too on the passenger side! I'm sure there is a fix on here somewhere and I seem to recall it had something to do with the passenger side headlight?

    PC gaming specs?

    Just dropped a Titan-x into my rig, absolute monster of a card! But to max everything on my 4k monitor I will probably need another one soon :scared:

    Throaty Noise coming on acceleration

    Sounds like it could be the the dreaded manifold flexis. How far to the front would you sat the sound is?

    Top grill removal

    When I got mine out for painting I did it by pulling for the bottom corner, nearest the headlight. This should unclip them from the bottom so they can be pulled straight off. Just bare in mind the bottom is the only side that is clipped (2 I think) and it can only be removed in that way.

    Plasti dip

    Did my standard 197 wheel in gunmetal grey plastidip in April and they are still going strong (apart from where one had a fight in a multistory carpark :thumbdown:) Used a can per wheel for mine to get a good coat on them spraying from various angles to ensure you cover all faces of the spokes...

    Did I get caught?

    Something similar happened to me a few weeks back, saw the van and slammed the anchors on and hoped for the best, got a letter through last week saying they clocked me doing 91 :( 3 points & £100 fine.

    Went to Wigan last night. Only 14000 there, 3000 of those being QPR fans! Terrible home support!

    Running different tyres front and back?

    Should be fine. The general rule is to have the newest tyres on the rear of the car I believe, for a reason I can't remember!

    Brake advice

    Looks like they could be grooved discs too? They will make a bit more noise than OEM discs too from what I gather.

    Milltek Cat Back System

    I've got the sports cat on mine and it feels fine, doesnt seem restrictive. I haven't got the pre cat in the manifold though so this may make a difference. If you have the cat in the manifold then I think you will pass an MOT with a decat anyway

    I don't tend to do our away games either if I'm honest. Have a season ticket at Loftus Road and is a bit of a trek down from Norfolk for the games! Thought a draw was a fair result on the balance of the game, once Wickham and McCormack have played a few more games together I reckon you might be...
