Thanks mate, will sort some bumper filler once I get paid

I love the US strip but I want to keep the plate where it is so I can't be bothered to waste the effort of smoothing it lol

^^

I hear ya bro. When I fit mine, probably 2 weeks time, I will be in a pickle about my plate. I could get a rectangle one and put lower left/right hand side, or just mount it a touch lower beneath the rubstrip!


Decisions decisions!

Also, have you chopped out the bumper where the repeaters will go? Took some drilling and hacking I can tell you!

If you were to smooth the strip and mount a regular sized plate just below it, wouldn't this hinder airflow to your FMIC, something you really don't want to be doing.

Not much to report other than just replaced my front passenger door module as the old one was locking/unlocking all the time. I've replaced it with a green version which are apparently less prone to the dry solder joint but we'll see.

Chopped the useless 2.25" part of the downpipe off



My 2.5" also arrived to bridge the gap between the downpipe and exhaust once I fit it, will leave it full length until I fit it as I don't want to leave myself short lol

pay day tomorrow, so...

track rod ends have been ordered along with a few sundries for the decat

Just noticed the material on my drivers door card has gone all slack and looks crap, luckily my mate had a spare so I'll be replacing that over the weekend. While I'm there I'll also change my door lock module as it's starting to play up. Only one more to go and I've replaced the whole set lol

The one I haven't replaced yet is the rear drivers; I hate doing the rear ones. It's not been registering that door has been opening for well over a year now so I might have to do it soon, starts getting annoying when trying to unload the kids and the interior lights go out lol

Tidied up one of the holes for the side markers, just got to do the other one and I can give the strip a lick of paint

Replaced the one way valve in my WMI kit with a electrical solenoid this week and also wired up my wife button. It basically cuts the feed to the N75 valve leaving the car with around 8psi instead of 21...
