Love pretending to have a test bench haha!
Closer to getting the wiring for the auto dimmer sorted though.

[petet16]

You going to hide the charger in the glove box

[Skillen]

Might have to you know!
Then touch the wires together for it to dim!

General question now.
What colour is the reverse feed for the reverse lights?
Need to take a feed off that so it doesn't dip when reversing at night

[Skillen]

The wiring for the auto-dimming mirror was done today along with getting the headlining, pillar trims, parcel shelf and back seats in.





I'm glad I didn't do the pillar trims black, I really like the contrast it gives along with the light and volumetric sensor.


May try the grey sun visors and grab handles a while and see if they are any good like that or need changed.

Still haven't sealed up the scuttle though :/

[petet16]

It looks good.

[grimmy]

Looks good that.

[Dan1971]

I like that - but I'd do the pillar trim too personally.

[Skillen]

Thanks guys! Looks a little whiter in the pics than in person.
Gonna have to do a bit of smoothing and then not touch the roof again ever!

Might see about the same alcantara grey as the seats on the pillars at a later date keep it fresh.

Not updated this thread in a while so thought I'd update this rather than post a new thread of nonsense after this weekends fiddling.

Done a few bits and pieces since the last update so ill summarise a little bit.

fitted brembodge pug brembos last year:


Now I've decided to upgrade these for the reanult clio kit which i got a bracket made up for (no pics of these though as they're not painted)

Fitted Gaz GHA coilovers last year:


It's a little higher than this now but you get the drift.

She then got the belts done and at the same time i had Piper 270 cams fitted
unfortunately they didn't fit the vernier pulleys but that will happen later on now when i save up for a remap.


Then i did nothing with her for a while as I moved away from home (finally) and got myself to Chester from Cumbria meaning that the car fell by the wayside as i had other things to do and having to pay rent has depleted my disposable income massively so I can't be buying things left right and center any more! luckily I did most of my spending when i had the chance so most of it is still sitting waiting for some money to be fitted!

when I was moving to my new gaff, the body kit on the left wing went awol somewhere on the motorway:


So as the drivers side bumper was damaged too from being too low and hitting a pot hole I decided that the front needed doing:

(not easy to see in the photo but the bumper is hanging off!)

I bought a new old stock in primer MK2 bumper off Stephen and sent that off for spraying and a used wing off eBay.

This weekend has consisted of sorting that out:

Everything off.


Everything back on.




No bumper gap!

Then i gave her a long overdue wash, polish and clean inside (and then photo-whored)





Didn't get any more pics of the interior as lighting is a bit bad today in the sun but rest assured it is spotless!!

Went to get food and then saw another so had to park next to it obviously:


So that's this weekends work, still a lot to do, gearbox things and bodywork mostly, those bloody headlights need a good sorting too!
Gonna have a post update with all of my mods etc. on it soon as there is a good list to put up now

I'm pleased with how shes turning out and happy she can still scrub up well!

[talkingcars]

She's looking loved again.
