i trimmed off the excess plastic on mine as quite a bit goes into the arch at a bad angle and cutting it off doesnt affect looks but will stop that happening!

Got some of those tuner nuts as the originals were stripping and also damaging the alloys on removal.
Some pics. Damage to the alloy from normal taking on and off of nuts with the OEM bar. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...psc2fb8c76.jpg New internal drive nuts nowhere near the alloy and the drive will never get near it! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps8d2435af.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps74847df0.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps5583683e.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...psd99c53ae.jpg Just need those spare mk2 alloys refurbished and powder coated! Also fixed the broken rear arch spat with new clips and some double sided number plate foam! |
What did you use on on your engine bay? Looks so foamy!

It was Gunk foam, got it from halfords.
Done a good job but I got a bit carried away and used a full can :/ I did do it 2-3 times on some its to make sure I got worked into the corners etc |
Not updated this in a while.
Not much to put on other than passed its mot with no advisories. I fitted some 45 chrome heater rings as they're far nicer: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps0ebf5472.jpg It got a nice shiny valet: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps0874f6ff.jpg Got my spare 11 spokes refurbished and powder coated satin black: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps4c165af2.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...psb880c941.jpg Bought myself a Brembo front brake conversion kit too :) http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...psf648f6cc.jpg I have also purchased a new heated windscreen a set of ZT power fold mirrors to try and make work and a set of map pocket seat rears as well as fitted my 45 thick leather steering wheel. Following all these nice things I then was silly and put it into a flood puddle which went over the sills. So from 8pm tonight (when it was dry(est)) I set about getting the interior stripped and now she stands at this: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps4677144d.jpg Still a lot more to take out like the centre console and the a, b & c pillar trim and the headlining before getting it properly dried as it is absolutely sodden in there :( The overall plan is to get some sound deadening installed in there floor roof and pillars and cover any hole that isn't useful and stuff pillars with insulating material and hopefully have a bit of refinement. Lot of work to get on with and hopefully have it all sorted and back together in time for PoL if not the end of March. |
Get stuck in mate .... all the best with it. Love those wheels.

Got the carpet out tonight: lots of water in the bottom
http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps37fd684e.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...psa9ec3328.jpg And that stupid bulkhead sound deadening sheet was soaked too so had to squeeze out what I could. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps198c515c.jpg Tomorrow I'll clean it up some more and await my sound damping material: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...obalID=EBAY-GB Not I bad price I thought :) May stick the drivers seat back in and take her for a cheeky spin ;) |
Looking good, as Dan, love the new wheels.
