Bought some bits n pieces...

So I decided tonight to order little bits to finish small projects on my list while I don't have time for the bigger things.

As I have bought 2 new headlights to improve the front end (only really annoys me!) The front bumper will be off so have bought xenon fog light bulbs to compliment the white HID and LED combo.

I have ordered the remaining LEDs and other bits to finish my red/white dials conversion.

I have ordered new bumper clips and bolts to fix the bumper sag (bumper doesn't even rest on one of them!)

Since the rear bumper is coming off, its time to fix the boot leak which has begun to smell damp.

Hopefully that will bring the black 180 up to scratch for a while.

Beyond that, I will be removing the front bumper again, fitting proper DRL's (not cheap led strips) and plan to build them in to the bumper so they look stock. I will then fit a laguna splitter, smooth the big scrapes that were already there and have it resprayed.

After that I will get the car properly clayed, get the one dent removed (previous owners wing mirror was bashed in to the door) and alloys refurb.d.

That will be all for now though lol, should have the red alcantara seats done and in by then!

That's quite a list there, car is being well looked after and getting some tlc,
something my car has been lacking lately.

Smokey, if you ordered the bumper clips off rimmers, they are incorrect. Or at least the one I received was. The bits that dig in were on the outside, not the inside, and they were longer, meaning you cannot grind them down to the best length. Just a heads-up!

Stop playing with that shed and make sure the track car is right lol

The track car is awaiting the new bracket so is getting love and care too!

The clips, I didn't order from rimmers.

The LEDs are not from any nazi, merely an eBay seller.

Hopefully it will all look good. Once this lot is finished, I have another phase of things I want to do lol!
