Fitted my R32 front bumper today. Looks ok for a replica. Looks as if the passenger wing has had I bang and been sent out of place but doesn't bother me really. This is the only picture I have at the moment. New number plate without holes is now fitted. Just needs slamming now ha ha.

Wired in my Bora illuminated vents tonight  :laugh: Much easier to wire up than I thought it would be. Also got lucky with the wiring so it's on the dim switch too  :grin: Here's a picture of how its looking not the greatest picture but still

So the engine was still struggling on idle so I took the throttle body apart was greeted with this  :sick:


So I gave it a rub down with brake and clutch cleaner. Still not 100% clean but I don't have the tools to get it free from the pipe. I don't have any after photos but once it's nice and shiny I will. Runs a lot better now though  :grin:

Well my window regulator had snapped so I went to the scrapers this morning to try and find one but no joy as they were all 5 door?! So bought one from the bay £17.00 delivered tomorrow :) while I was there I spotted an armrest. Thought hmm see if its the same material as my seats and boom! Winner so took it off and fitted it  :laugh:
perfect working order. Needs a good clean. £20!  :grin:
Also found the cover that hides the purple diagnostics plug :) £3 happy with my mornings efforts!
