Chris_14a Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thought I would update this as not done it in a while as been working etc. Been working on the car the last few weeks getting it ready for the bodyshop as it was starting to look abit tired and sorry for itself. I have stripped the rear bumper off as it has broken up in the corner so whilst it was off spent some time undersealing behind it also took the side skirts off for the same reason and did the same with the sillsI also fitted my fender bars and undersealed behind my front wings aswell Also spent some time doing my head lights and indicators as they had glazed over and had moss around the edges as the car had been sat outside until I moved. So now the car has gone off to the bodyshop to have the body panels sorted and some paintwork. There will also be a few changed but will put picture up when it's back as even tho the car has changed a lot since I bought it the bodywork has always been the same so I wanted to change it so its more my car will put pictures up when it's back, plus when my new wheels are here and hopefully be at the Td meet on the 21st Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_14a Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) No went for custom wheels . It was a nightmare I would have had to role and flare my arches. You can get longer studs Td can get them Edited April 7, 2013 by Chris_14a Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've toyed with idea of buying some a few times nowWill try to get pics up tomorrow as been abit worse for ware today haha. And not had chance to try my brakes or all the chassis mods yet as not had chance to drive the car properly as it has been off the road. Will let you know when I get a chance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Managed to get a few bits back on after last post so now has front bumper and lights. Lights look alot better now they have been cleaned. Now I know the bumper isnt to everyone's taste again ha but I always wanted to get it lower at the front to match the sideskirts and smooth it off so this was the easy solution and it is genuine as not been copied . Will get the rest on over the next few days and get a picture up of it complete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
