Exactly mate, its weird seeing people that you have only been talking to on the forum. Iv seen the face to name thread so ill recognise a couple of people lol. Will be an awesome day though. Is there a summer AMD meet this year as well??

Yeah too true. Always good to chat in person and look over the cars up close :)

Usually we do the 2nd AmD meet later in the year. It's not confirmed yet but in due course mate ;)

Hopefully it'll be warm enough in April!
 
Looks great! I wanted a red one but I found they were extremely difficult to find. It seems every single red LCR lives in Aberdeen...

I have to say that engine bay is remarkably clean. Keep your lights OEM! That red overlay isn't a good look if I'm being blunt. I find that OEM+ is the way forward.

Thats cool then, i thought there was one later in the year, should be a completely different car by then.
Mmm it should be alright. Hopefully April showers doesn't strike lol
 
I've only just realised that there are 6 pages to this thread...I thought it was a new thread! My above comment still stands though.
 
Looking good Rich, I wish I had the determination to sit out there all day like you do, cleaning mine at the mo is a big task lol.

The exhaust is a bit of a pain to fit if your not lowering the subframe ,you will have to cut the down pipe off.

We will have to arrange a little convoy to the AmD day :)

Ha ha thats alright mate cheers though. It took ages to find a red one and finally found this one. There are a couple more that are up for sale now local to me, but I found being patient and the right one will eventually come along.
Yeah iv scrapped the idea of red lights, gonna go with with LED's like Tom has on his :D

What colour did you go for then?

Thats what boredom does to you mate lol.
I don't know if to tackle this exhaust on my drive as i don't fancy lowering the subframe without guidance :( Did you lower yours?

Sounds like a plan to me, not long to go either :D
 
Cheers mark, it does look a bit of a wreck at the mo but it is coming together... eventually :D

Had a look at how far up the downpipe bolts up to and it doesn't look easy at all, few things need moving for easy access. Ill give it a go though. Take it you wont tackle your exhaust yourself then?? lol

Yes m8 ill tackle mine myself but I've been told you need to losen subframe and also power steering rack which I don't fancy but ill give it a go tomoz

Can anyone confirm if its a big strip down or a straight forward removal ?? I know mine should be ok coming apart only due to the downpipe being in 2 pieces......

I went for a black one. It's a bugger to keep clean but it looks do good when it is! I've just started a thorough spring clean on it. 2 new Pirellis today. Unfortunately I put my finger through the perspex cover over the VIN under the scuttle. It had gone mega-brittle over the years and I barely rested my fingers on it! It crumbled like biscuit.

Anyway, enough of my woes.

Yeah black is a nightmare, had 2 now and iv had enough of it... for now. Thing with these cars now, they are getting old and things will break. The amount of plastic clips i have broken this winter is mental lol
 
Ordered myself one of these bad boys and some other gear tonight. I have wanted to do some proper detailing for a long time now :D
