what have you done to your car today ?

[ZRZ]

Rest of the car is filthy from sitting around for over a week gathering dust!

Yeah fitted everything myself mate, just need to get bottom grills and fogs in because the bodyshop forgot to deliver those so picking them up tomorrow. Need to put my LCR splitter back on too which I've sprayed gloss black

Bonnet catches? The bonnet has raisers/spacers to lift it. Previous owner did it for some reason. I want to change it to normal but can't find a bolt size for the hinges

No the side of ur bumper that connects to your wing, you have missed sliding a catch in, if you look at your pic u will see

 

[ZRZ]

Ahh I know what you mean. I tried to line that up for about an hour and it wouldn't, I think the crash damaged the wing slightly

Ordered all the vacuum hosing for the expansion/screen wash/intake manifiold area today, already have a few hundred quids worth of silicone hosing ready to go on at the end of the month, spent my afternoon after work sanding, priming and painting the expansion and screenwash caps black, looks so much better. The cars black, and all my aftermarket hosing is in red, it'll start looking class in a couple weeks time once its all on. Can't wait

Bought my new LCR a week ago for a very good price due to the fact it was in need of a bit of mechanical love. Bodywork wise she is spot on. Today she has gone in for a new timing belt, water pump (metal impellor), aux belt, rear brake caliper, gearbox shim mod and a service. She's been sat on drive for a week now not moving as the cambelt was well overdue (4 years!!!!!), so was too scared to driver her. Can't wait to get her back! 3rd LCR now, can't get enough of them!
