Looks fantastic!
Can y'all get R bumpers without the wipers over there or did you have to shave yours like had to be done on mine?
I moved my Ohlins reservoirs over as far as I could to the sides to keep them away from being directly over the turbo trying to help reduce some of the heat.

The wipers is not optional, I've had them removed.
Yeah, it's probably a good idea to have the reservoirs moved away from the heat generated by the turbo. Till next year i'm planning to replace the Öhlins with Kaplhenke Racing coilovers.

Very Clean! I just want to know where did you mount the BOV and did you block off where the CBV use to be?

The original CBV is blocked.

I'm using a hose adapter for the HKS SSQV BOV and mounted it using an aluminum T-pipe.

Fuel pump is already done, Bosch "040" in-tank.
The plan is to have it powder coated and new solid mounts:

Very nice car!
But... it's an "R"? Over here that means AWD... didn't know they sold a FWD version in Europe...
So...you removed the entire AWD rear suspension in favor of the delta link??? Why not just remove the rear diff, etc & keep the better suspension?
Who sells the modified tail lights - those might be worth trying - are they LED?

The tails are on Ebay, Hussein. There was a kid in NC who had them on his dark blue wagon, but that may have been just before your time.
