That tray is the bomb and the relay and fuse boxes look to be right at home.
What bushes did you fit? Poly or OEM rubber?

Rubber, you can see em in the last tray pic.......
IMO you just cant beat rubber, its cheap so I change it often.
Poly is good, but the ride is jarring and if its the two part poly a ridge can form between the two halves after a while etc.
I know 1000+ peeps will say different but I prefer rubber

I am looking at new bushes in the front radius arms and panhard rod, deliberating over poly or metelastic rubber as per original?
Choices are end less......
What do you think of that expandable braided cable protection stuff?
New looms on the horizon and I'm planning in advance

I would go mentalistic personally, I prefer the ride polys are not fit and forget etc.
As for the cable braid stuff, its designed for interior only and is only a cable tidy no protection from water etc, in fact it works like a sponge! (I use split flexi ribbed conduit for all internals)
For any looms outside, underside or engine bay then go no split flexi ribbed conduit all day long, gland off at entry or exit point with a blob of clear sealant, cable tied up out of the way or use the mounting clips. Its like the Budgie* and easy to use, cut and fit & 100/% waterproof etc.
* Cheap!

At least you got your tools out, I have been blessed with baby puke an sh!tty nappies since I got home from work
Not to mention being tormented by it every time I look out the kitchen window
What a great list of changes you've made. Really interesting to see.
I'm also Kent was was thinking of a Stage 2 remap from those guys in Margate so will watch with interest when you get round to going that.
Are you thinking stage 1/stage 2 ? and will you be changing other components ?
Our 90 already has a stage 1 remap but from back in 2010 and not sure who did it.

Cheers!
Steve is such a nice guy, and very talented, Gary from Alive tuning speaks very highly of him.
I am only doing a kind of stage one really not that fussed about speed, de-cat, straight through exhaust, egr removal and a fuel re map is enough, a bigger intercooler makes some difference but its not really at the top of the list in terms of biggest impact, the exahust and egr do that!
Where abouts in kent r u?

Pre full spray job later in the year, still deciding on colour scheme and finish, so popped this on for a look-see.
Used 1mm self adhesive rubber on rear to stop noise.....

I quite like that
I Just dont know!
1) Epsom Green (as is) and Matt black (roof)
2) Raptor* v dark grey / Matt Black roof
3) Raptor* v dark grey / White roof
* or some sort of texture (fine grade) I quite like the black against white offset in the pic, which was an unintended surprise, so thats put a 'UN' type two tone option into the mix, bas of white or cream with black furniture etc ? To be honest all today has done is widen my options!, so in summery no idea need more cider n chin scratching.
