Looks tidy mate.

Got many plans for it?

 

[Holdup]

Thank you

Yes I have plenty of plans for it, still got a few things to add to the thread, just started it as it was because I wrote out nearly my whole first post and then closed the tab it was in

 

[Readie46]

Nice LCR ill keep an eye out for this one

 

[Holdup]

Next up was 35w 4300k Hids and LED sidelights but no photos of them yet.

Then i sent my car off to Inspraytion in Rochester to have my wheels repaired and powder coated in anthracite at £50 a wheel I couldn't argue plus my brother had his wheels done by them and I was impressed.

*photo to follow*

Im in Maidstone too, will have to look out for you

 

[Readie46]

Id miss that bike too

 

[Holdup]

Id miss that bike too

I spent a lot of money on that bike *sighs*

Anyway, anthracite wheels:

With new centre caps and wheel nut caps

Next to be fitted was a JR filter and a heat shield i got off ebay, excuse the night time phone camera quality.

Then it was off to jonjay for some detailing

I also had braided hoses fitted along with dot 5.1 fluid

The mods stopped for a while but then they came in the form of some silver indicator bulbs and ring xenon max bulbs for the high beam and fogs

and on Friday this turned up

Cobra non resonated cat back, but I've got to wait to fit it as it doesn't come with a gasket where the cat and centre section meet... so I have one on order along with a new splitter

 

[Ben:]

Looking good! Interested to see what you think about the cobra, as I'm tempted for one aswell.
New centre caps look good

 

[Holdup]

Thanks, cant wait to get it fitted, as soon as the gasket turns up I will be pestering my brother constantly until he fits it

 

[Readie46]

If your brother won t fit it soon enough for u go to Maidstone exhausts at Bower lane they fitted mine

 

[Holdup]

They're good down there, I deliver to them quite a lot, they did me a good deal on my Avon ZZ3's fitted to the rear.

Hopefully it will be fitted Thursday

Was you at Aylesford retail park earlier today?

 

[Readie46]

yeah that was me , where was you

 

[Holdup]

I was just pulling in off the london road, was in the work van though. I like your wheels

Done the n249 bypass earlier today, not sure if i can feel a difference or not

 

[Readie46]

Im looking for new front pads , dont know what ones to go for

 

[Holdup]

I just went with Brembo's. Ferodo DS2500, get good reviews, my mate has a set in his LCR and they stop

 

[Readie46]

What are the brembos like seen them on ebay , do you ever go to Prept at Brand hatch

 

[D.K]

DS2500 are very good but a bit pricey :?

Nice car Holdup, cant beat a silver LCR

Thats what made me go with the Brembo's, think I paid something like £50 for them.

Thanks, I keep reading through your thread, I'm going to attempt to read it all, was hoping to see your car down at AMD on the RR day but I couldn't make it in the end

 

[D.K]

Good luck with reading all that
A few of us will be at Players on Sunday if your going.
