Yes mate it has the TTE Lowering Springs too I don't know about the Clear Indicators and repeaters, as if I do that it will have no colour to break it up apart from the new decals that are green/red. I'll look into the 98 spec rear lights, a few of my mates have suggested this also. Thanks for comments allJamie Edited October 1, 2013 by Jamie5414 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie5414 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Fitted my number plates today. I'm very pleased with the quality and size. They fit perfect. Haven't got any pictures of the rear yet. I've never seen anyone use a laser line to fit number plates! I'm very OCD hahaha! Steam Cleaning & shining up the engine bay tomorrow. The power steering pump has a lot of surface rust on it, I'm going to see what a wire bush/wire drill bit will do to it Also got to fit some winter tyres as well, It's getting wetter and wetter now and my tyres on the front are some budget ones! Not a wise choice when it snows! Before:After: mmmmmmm Zender Turbo 2's 165/50/15 These might go well with the MiesterR Coilovers... Will have to give them a test fit and see what they look like.

Liking the progress man No probs mate, It's sitting on my drive all this week so may as well get it ready to stick on whilst it's the weekend. Get that engine cleaned!! The engine is clean, It's just oxidizing which makes it look nasty. It will look a lot better once the Inlet Mani, Rocker Cover & Exhaust Mani heat-shield are powder coated gunmetal/anthracite! The engine bay & piping on the other hand does need a good clean, but waiting to fit the above after it comes back from the spray shop then taking the car to get the bay steam cleaned. It takes them half the time and half the hassle then me sitting there with a toothbrush and degreaser Looking for a TD res cover and going to re-locate the battery to the boot, then going to get a green filter located where the battery was with some nice welded stainless piping too it Edited November 5, 2013 by Jamie5414 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
