Carried on from here chaps

Well just a small update due to lack of time. Got my Anniversary interior in and fogs etc and joey'd the headlights fitted to some cabriolet inner door handles and basically cleaned the thing and sorted out some trims etc that have bugged me.

Got a track day/evening booked at cadwell in june so see how she copes.



Joey'd Vs Stock

























The harnesses are for the trackday









Also found out my brakes were than I had planned so had to "mod" the calipers lol. Not much clearance as many will tell you lol.





Next step BOOOOOOOOSSSTTT!

Looks good.

Brakes could have been fixed with spacers

Looking good.

Put a finer disc on the grinder then paint the callipers again.

Also, paint your grill slats matte or satin black, you will prefer it.  :smiley:

I despise spacers.

The brakes have been painted since lol and the full front end is being repainted as it's having a new drivers wing and bonnet.

Exhaust was swapped as I love the supersprint it sounds epic ! Lol.
The paint is amazing though for the mileage and shall continue to be improved.
