ripped_fear Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Got some new Mobil Super 3000 5w-40 oil into the old girl today and took her for a blast. Weather wasnt great but felt the need to go for a drive. Took a cheeky picture while on my travels... Fingers crossed the weather is a bit better tomorrow and I can fit some more of the new bits. Also knocked this together yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Had a bit of free time today so, while I'm waiting for bits to arrive I thought I would open one of the box's of parts, and have and start on something new. So having a crack at refurb-ing a set of facelift Headlights now. So split them and started cleaning them up. Managed to get all the old sealer off of them, from where some eye brows had been fitted, and started rubbing them back with some medium grit wet and dry, obviously they looks like rubbish currently but hopefully they should shine up with some more work. Not even sure if I will fit these to my car or not, may just clean them up and sell them on, but I will see what they look like at the end.

Was shocked at how poorly they are made TBH. Lot of **** where being said while trying to fit it However don't regret one second or one penny, I'm still happy.

C12MMO Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Your car just gets better and better. I got a diffuser from the same group buy and by the looks of how much of a pain they are to fit I think I'll pay someone else to fit it otherwise with my temper I'll just end up binning the lot! Big up to all the hard work you've put in. Puts my car too shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Looks loads better dude, removing the spats makes a hell of a difference! ive now got a bit of a hate for them since i removed mine, diffuser looks great too nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Good work Jake. Much better without the spats and diffuser looks good. The rear of the car looks really good with the boot lip, exhaust and plate surrounds and now the diffuser, all nice touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work Jake. Much better without the spats and diffuser looks good. The rear of the car looks really good with the boot lip, exhaust and plate surrounds and now the diffuser, all nice touches. Thanks Adam, kind words But with all these touches this is what is making me think facelift tail lights are needed as they continue the contrast.
