aleximport25 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Another update Well my gearbox housing decided to break, so I replaced the casing which saved a hefty wedge so that was a bonus :-) Everything went pretty well and hopefully I can make a simply write up in case anyone else needs to do the same :-) Then my car went for a short visit to Jdm-Ep and had a set of purple engine bay washers which has brightened up the bay very well.I dropped my front bumper of at Simon Richardsons while I went for a week to Newquay and came home to my bumper all freshly painted and fitted a 98 spec splitter. He has done a fantastic job and can't recommend him enough. He even give the caps to cover the screws a fresh coat of black. It's made the car look so clean :-) I've been bugging the jason at motivated design as I wanted some stainless dials for glanzas he did a while back to do me a set :-) So they got fitted ready for a show tomorrow Unfortunately I ran out of green bulbs so until that arrives orange will do.But they look fantastic:-) Win win update for me.

I got mine off of eBay buddy dirt cheap :-) Imo I think the smd opposed to led are better for dials as they project light better :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aleximport25 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 So here's a few photos from a show last month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've also just painted up a fibreglass reverse scoop which didn't turn out too bad. Needed some work on the vent as it was wonky as hell but the dremel sorted that ;-)I gave it a test fit and one side sits too high as the fibreglass is thicker on one side. I also need to secure it down so I'm think gin silicone some bolts to the underside of the scoop so I can remove it easily. Here's the test fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 So just a tiny update.....Just bought a new steering wheel for my v from Matt Richardson and the post man brought me a nice shiny snap off boss :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
