Quick update:

Cloth Recaros out;



Leathers in;



My nipper posing:




His car seat is being upgraded to a Recaro one April 1st on his birthday :) haha

Also went to Euro Car Parts last week and picked up some 3mm vac pipe and routed the inlet straight to the forge dv. Also the other 2 bits while I was at it.



Hopefully got enough to change the old washer piping for the boost gauge to sillicone aswell.

Anni seat belts turn up next week so that will probably be the next update.

Another update.

Had plenty if overtime recently with the storms so spent a bit on the car this week.

Kufatec Heated seat loom
3" downpipe and decat 3" to 2.5"
Straight through middle section
Leather arm rest
Anni belts

Fitted the loom last night in about 45 mins. Can't beat that toasty feeling.
Also got the switches and illumination sorted for them also.

Exhaust setup



Couldnt get the arm rest in this week as the bloke forgot one of the bolts but will post up when I can.

Started getting these on today aswell:






And painted my grill/badge aswell but not happy with it. Anyone selling a black grill (Preferabely LC9Z) then PM me! :)



LCR splitters coming off soon..

That's all for now.

Quick update not done one for a while.

Parked up outside my new house and came out to this:



Had pink paint on it so suspect it was a bus :(

Also fitted my US spec lights:





Will have a nice update next week, dropping it in the body shop tonight.

Had a few pics from the bodyshop with repair pics:

Full front bumper, wing and splitter



Full rear bumper with genuine anni splitter



The damage where I was hit and resmoothing the skirts



Rear bumper painted



Clear coat on wing and bumper

Will have pictures of the wheels and full car later on today.

Also a message hoping someone know where I can source some new badges for the BBS RC centre caps.

looks nice mate if you dont mind how much did that little lot cost you. got a fair bit on mine that could do with a blow over...
the grill looks better with black slats but think you should match the lower grill slats in the bumper black.

For all that and the wheels came to £350.

They are being changed mate just waiting for some to be given away haha. I'm not that desperate for them yet..

Couple more pics:

Centre cap badges being ordered tonight.





Couple from a few meets/shows I've been to this weekend:





And one of me and Baxxy in the carpark :)



New windscreen being fitted next Saturday so once that's done I think I'll start with getting the power down :)

Another update:

Finally found out the vibration at 40mph was an effed inner cv joint. Brand new driveshafts each side:







Effed joint





Started painting my interior bits aswell. Going to have something a little different on the inside but that will be in a few weeks yet..



Front bottom grills are in there aswell, they were originally colour coded..



Centre cap badges also turned up





And a few pics I've took out and about







And my new private plates..



I ordered them without the GB so after a quick message he said he'd send a new set out and keep these as spares :)

Thanks for reading
