Cheers guys . . Yeh i know theyll fit, just wondered how they go about doing it, guess ill just have to get some and see what kind of runners they come with and adapt them too work . . the airbag lights my biggest worry as i heard there gonna be getting more strict on M.O.Ts with that?

[Mike R]

What about insurance purposes? Or do you keep hush

 

[Murdered LCR]

Hush

 

[Mike R]

Haha . .

Just had my new windscreen fitted . .

 

[EL]

ouch, how you manage to crack the screen like that? Something hit it?

 

[LEE69]

Nothing like a brand new windscreen.
Is almost like nothing is there.

 

[Mike R]

I was going along a nice straight piece of road and a stone or something flicked off a lorrys tire that was coming the other way and hit right the bottom of the screen, another 2mm and it would have hit the rubber and bounced off, just my luck that it didnt and then the crack started to spread so i thought id have it replaced asap . . Haha yeh its like theres nothing there now, its sooo shiny

 

[LEE69]

Buy new wiper blades.

 

[Mike R]

[tyrer]

Sounds interesting mate. You painting???

 

[Mike R]

Its been a long and very knackering weekend, me and my mate have worked costantly - time spent friday night 5.30pm - 4AM! and sunday 3pm - 7pm . . Roof, spoiler, mirrors, rear bumper valence, front grills went gloss black, and opened up my front bumper ( sorry shite phone pics )

Bumper before

Bumper after

Peeled off the tacky carbon effect door bits and glossed blacked it instead

Then it was the roofs turn, had to flatten this right down as when i bought the car it was keyed very deep, removed the spoiler and aerial too to do this . .

Then we built it back up on sunday,

I havent got any good pics of roof and mirrors as yet, it was dark when we finished last night and i had a early start with work this morning so havent had a chance, also the front bumper obviously needs meshing which i have got cut to shape and also sprayed gloss black.

 

[Murdered LCR]

Looking good mate

 

[tyrer]

Nice mate!!! Really works with the silver even though I see your going Candy white..... Drool

What wheels/colour you doing mate?

 

[Mike R]

Cheers lads . . The wheels im fitting are on the last page mate , they have been sprayed in the same Gloss black as the roof etc so should all tie in nicely . . I dont know if i should leave the front and rear badges chrome, do them black, or do them white?

 

[tyrer]

Oh yeah the LR wheels!!! Special.

I've just ordered the FK grill as I can't decide on what to do with the S so getting rid and seeing how that looks

 

[Mike R]

Yep . .

Ahh, i havent seen that mate, have you got a link, im really stumped at wat to do, ive got a week to decide lol
