GeX Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Just fitted the Whiteline rear anti roll bar which I've had since way before Christmas.

99hjhm Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Any updates with the induction fella??Urm, no.I have a few more parts, right size hose clips, 45° bend. Just need a filter TBH, will use a JR one from Jetex as they are only down the road from where I work, could pick one up tomorrow lunch time.Ordered a new front bumper, LCR splitter, and some more carbon as I decided I want wrapped wing mirrors. lol. Smoothed, polished and took tyhe orange filter out of the rear lights, fitted Osram bulbs.One of my xenons is playing up so will have to look at that at the weekend.

crash Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Good luck with the wing mirrors. Trying to do mine at mo - serious pain in the arse! Patrickyeah it is very difficult and you may have to put up with a few creases... the shop that did my roof tried the wingmirrors but said they were too hard. I realise they are on a time vs money arrangement but they were 'experts'! Be interested to see how yours turn out mate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Good luck with the wing mirrors. Trying to do mine at mo - serious pain in the arse! PatrickYea they are such a pain! I wrapped mine up to the line, possibly left from the mould? Don't know if that would be possible with colour coded mirrors though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 sounds good James ^ as aboveLets hope it looks as good when it's done.Such a busy little thread.All sounds amazing as always so manyy refinements and little touches Thanks Jowey.Yea they are such a pain! I wrapped mine up to the line, possibly left from the mould? Don't know if that would be possible with colour coded mirrors though.Not really, I sanded the moulding marks off the mirror covers so they are nice and smooth. Found the issue with the headlight was the ballast being full of water, luckily the spare one I have works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Spent the afternoon scraping the wax off the side of the engine bay, front wing and chassis leg now the head light is out, must be 8mm thick in places. Took the exhaust heat sheild off, going to vapour blast it and paint it satin black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
