Had these badboys delivered today, only place i could seem to find them was regal autosport.
Get them fitted in about two weeks time, see if it will stop the clutch slipping and see if i can use more of the torque without wheel spin everytime! :undecided:

Slip = yes, spin = no. IMHO

Received my Ebay bargain £11 carbon fiber mirror covers :) quality isn't amazing but will stop stone chips !  :grin:



Removed my mirror caps which takes 20 seconds a side, you do not have to remove the glass ! Cleaned and then glued the cf versions on top with 3m tape.



Then oven baked to help the glue set (the wife loved this !)  :whistle:



Fitted back on the car please excuse the state of the car and also the darkness ! Better pics over the weekend !

Successfully failed at trying to remove the side light bulbs without cutting my fingers to shreds.

Who designs these things?

Managed to give it first clean since new year.  Typically it started sleeting as I was drying it  :sad:

Always entertaining snow foaming in the wind, not much went on the car but my face has been well and truly foamed  :rolleyes:
