Another little update
« on: 25 April 2012, 20:30 »
Really thinkin I shoul have started a project thread when I bought the car year ago  :laugh: but anyway
Just a few pics of things done over the last week or so....
fitted a new aux belt tensioner as the old one was squeezing like hell as the bearing had gone!

Emptied my catch can after two weeks.  :sick:


Put some carbon fibre wrap on my rear badge

Also painted my front grill and put some carbon vinaigrette wrap behind it (will post a pic when I get chance)

Also today I manage to finally get my new uprated rear brakes to fit (ready for the roll down to r-tech on tuesday  :cool:) after making the brackets and gettin it wrong and then having to make some more  :grin:

Old....


New  :cool:...



So now they match  :grin:

They are high spec and are actually off a mk3 that's why they were such a pain to fit  :laugh:
