Gee wiz this is a fantastic community! Thank you ALL for the really quick, informative and welcoming replies!
It seems as it the main consensus is to just respray, which I am actually quite happy with, I am thinking the CF bonnet will look daggy on the car but it looks as if it will draw more cool air to the intercooler under boost. I might actually have a look at this clear acrylic bonnet protector, as I have more stone chips than a cavemans computer! HAHAHA
I remember when I had the EVO 7 (which was tuned from the factory to run on 100 RON) I would constantly fill up with the 100 octane and I would watch the price stay the same, It was something like 142.9 a litre EVERY SINGLE TIME that I went there, and I remember hearing ethanol at this level cleans your injectors. If only that V power stuff was still around...
My car is not bone stock as it has dealer fitted 'sports exhaust', tint, AUX input into the sound system and the weather shields on the 2 front windows. I will attach a link to this post to a youtube video of my car if you guys would like to have a look!
As i said, thank you all soo much and I do plan to keep my eye out for the cruises in my area!
