Fmic Now Fitted & Pics From Yesterday & Today
« on: 04 July 2010, 09:24 »
At last the fmic is now on the car (eventually) Ths twinpass fmic  :smiley: was a long!! day yesterday and i still bear the scars and aches this morning! catch can blue silicone hose arrived and no elbow for my chargepipe/dv hose so that wasn't an ideal start  :rolleyes: had to leave that and wait for jonny to arrive so we could get started the plan being that we would work along side each other etc all fine removing all the front end and stopping for a chats etc had to sort the crash bars out as unlike with the forge kit you get a modded crash bar the ths one you dont and requires spot welds drilling out so as to remove the double skin on the d/s so as to fit the top hose inside well that was a mission indeed!! jonny had to go and get some new drill bits so lost us some time and he battered his thumb  :lipsrsealed: so i had to help out on the both of ours after alot of persuassion and swearing and nearly giving up if i'm honest the crash bars were sorted as well as several broken or worn drill bits  :huh: that done then it was a case of getting all the parts on both our cars abit of a mission on mine due to me having headlight washers and jonny not his was a touch easier jonnys r-bumper needed a little trimming to get his to fit and mine needed alot of trimming to fit  :lipsrsealed: but 12.30am (bet neighbours weren't happy  :evil:) got my bumper fitted cars still on axle stands waiting for me today to fit the headlight covers and sort the catch can etc not had a chance to even start or drive my car yet but will do for work tonight the ths fmic is a very good looking kit and looks well made etc so looking forward to seeing the results wouldn't be in a hurry to fit another tho! but looking out at it earlier it does look nice sat there on the car  :smiley: to knackered to put some during/finished pics up (must be bad  :grin:) but at some point this week expect to see some  :wink:

Pics will be up once i get the time wes  :grin: may even be friday as i'll have more time (finish work fri morning) so will have most of the day
even with alot of trimming and trying to make it neat yes it still looks hidden from outside if i'm honest i removed the four little uprights in the centre lower grille (as im not fitting that grille) got alot of trimming on the drivers side one to also do today and get that fitted etc
