need to get some new top mounts so i can drop it a little more [] would get some correction plates for the rear however they're not suited for air [N] so need to look down that route, also need to do some arch work on the front as the lip catches the tyre when dropped

Well I finally partly finished the install, firstly i put down some soundproofing

Wired in the dimming function on the Controller, i now need to rewire it onto the headlights as its not getting enough power from the dimmer switch and pulses occasionally

False floor in, it has a grab handle too which is just slightly out of the picture

It's not too bad, could be worse, still ordering a new sump etc for the weekend, i did it as i left the carpark from work on my last day of redundancy, perfect way to go eh?

Taken on a friends camera as mine died, shame because the quality isn't that great and would've been some nice clear pictures  as we cant go back as the police moved us on nicely!

Well here goes...

The other day when i reached into the back of the car to pick up a water bottle i thought oh balls.. my carpets drenched, then thought ah it's probably the water bottle has leaked.



On further inspection it was the drivers side foot well and rear passenger foot well(both driver side) were soaked, i then thought right it'l be the common door issue of it filling up and then filling the car.



I then took apart the drivers side door and couldn't see anything wrong, at this point i was stumped, so did a little research and a few posts on here related to checking the bonnet release grommet, so i did.



Unfortunately when separating the shuttle panel i snapped it, so I've repaired it temporarily with abit of plastic welding, and then loads and loads of JB weld around it, top and bottom, it looks nasty, but i'll be buying a new one to replace, it's sealed and does the job.



Shuttle panel during first stage of repair:

After the panel was removed i looked at the bonnet release grommet... needless to say the fitters (FAB FINISHING) have enraged me

So temporarily i needed the car on the road, so did a nasty bodge just so it sealed quickly.. (this didn't stay)
