Oi, stop it you two Sarah would kick me out! lol

Gonna try and crack on with it on thursday as I have the whole day off. Would be so much quicker if I had a proper sander, doing it all by hand at the mo. Need to get it done very soon though as the weather is starting to turn and cant do anything when its damp, need a garage or unit ;)

I had quite a busy day yesterday and got lots done which is great!

My 4300k HID's arrived so they were fitted straight away, I managed to get my skirts sanded and prep'd ready for paint again and also sanded the front bumper. First time I've touched the front but its a start. :)

I will get some pics up when my home Internet is fixed by BT.

Haha stop encouraging me!

Can we do a bit of logging next week? Want to see what difference this fuel makes and I won't be worrying about melting bumpers this time lol.

Paint the numberplate block black mate, then Velcro the front on. I did mine so I could whip it off at meets/pics etc looks much better.

Save yourself a job in the future ;)

She's gonna be a looker

Not sure about the black bit mate, maybe I'll get someone to Photoshop it for me and go from there.
