    Not really a massive update but been up to a few things, until recently I only had one headlight that was blacked out and it was getting on my tits and people asking all the time, so spent an evening splitting the other headlight and painting it, I also
    did the side lights. Last time I tried to tint sidelights I melted the lense in the oven haha.
    I did it with a heat gun this time and everything went a little smoother.







    Looks loads better now.

    She has been giving me some trouble recently with randomly misfiring sometimes quite bad so I swapped the NGK copper
    Plugs back to iridium's because they were to much trouble, but all is well again.

    Also managed to get myself some kouki spats for the rear bumper, fibreglass copies for £80

    Again thanks for the kind words lads,
    Parcelforce rocked up with these today, can't wait to get them painted and fitted along with the kouki spoiler =D





    This evening I spent some time getting a head start cleaning up the underside, I only have a small window of time to do the
    Subframe Swap and paint the lower arms, hubs, diff so on and so on as the workshop is open 6 days a week so time spent
    Here will save me time later
    One clean straight sill

    MOT time
    Had a few small problems to sort before the mot, right side indicators kept blowing fuses and it was a nightmare trying to
    Trace it down
    Hate electrics at the best of times



    Before I ripped the whole loom out to test it I rememberd it's all connected up to the steering column so had a look and hey
    Presto


    Can't see it very well but it was shorting in the column.

    Orderd up some number plates and while I was waiting for them I booked an Mot and fitted some alloy pulleys that I bought
    Cheap




    Sailed through the Mot and the manager said its last Mot was 7 years ago, I knew it was a while but 7 years haha

    I sold my wheels to buy a set of xxr 531 that were now on sale in the uk but I couldn't get them in the sizes I wanted without waiting ages for them. I regretted selling them as I loved them but the fitment wasn't great,
    Stumbled across another set exactly the same but a lot better fitment so I snapped them up.
    They are Volk Rays Vrx10, 17x8 et6 and 17x9 et13
    A lot more dish aswell
    Nearly wet myself with excitement when parcel force turned up



    Chucked them on and I'm well happy with them





    After driving the car the stock speakers were absolutely shot and were getting on my tits, off I went round friends houses
    Garage raiding for some door speakers and parcel shelf speakers

    New wheels are awesome mate. So nice to get the style you love in better sizes. Sills are so clean!
