Carbon_Bullet Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Coming together nicely, like the carbon dipped parts. Every little bit if the interior is either carbon or flocked, should look awesome once finished, interior back together mid December looking good , will be great once its finished Yes it will bud , thanks for positive comments Although I'm not a fan of aftermarked side mirrors, these look great. Nice move. I've always though stock mirrors where the best, but I was lucky to find these mirrors Looks awesome!! Not long to go Very nice build I would however paint the boot lid and fuel cap in white also, just my opinion though Has been mentioned to me before, however I'm going for the whole Carbon & white look, if I sprayed a carbon bootlid it would be a waste, may as well stick with a stock one, personal choice I surpose +1 I'll let the new buyer spray it, Nice work mate You know it add, need to make the decision before lee gets the engine to have a built block put on it, hmmmm decisions decisions !!! Im really liking the carbon mirrors . Are those the APR ones? Rare mirrors, I believe these are square craft mirrors, whifbitz sell them for over £450, however I found these in a random garage an got them for £40 Amazing Chris. Loving this pal Cheers buddy Loving this So am I, Are you after a Air con blanking plate for the engine bay Chris? I made mine from 2mm stainless steel. Yeah I am actually, just soooo busy with everything else at the minute haven't got the odd few spare hours yet to go an make it, if you have a spare if gladly buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Had the manual gear surround finally welded in today, followed by fitting the craftsquare carbon mirrors, not to everyone's taste but I like them, Fitted sound deadening to doors, door cards good to fitted back on, Also a few have commented on the fuel cover, I do have it in white, but at the minute I still prefer the carbon one Edited May 1, 2014 by Carbon_Bullet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_Bullet Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) This was a question asked by myself an now has turned into a "how to guide" hope it helps, much easier when you know what your doing in the first place HOW TO DISASSEMBLE AN AEROTOP ROOF REMOVAL 1. Unscrew the screws in all 4 corners of the roof, then both rubber seals each side should pull away, some may have loads of glue some may not, some screws may also be cover with glue. 2. Scrape away all old rubber seal & glue from the metal work otherwise you aren't going to get the new seal in, make sure to get in both grooves of the metal work! There's a further 4 screws also which you'll need to unscrew if removing the side parts altogether. 3. Once the rubbers have been removed, the roof fabric panel will unplug pretty easy, PUTTING BACK TOGETHER 1. Once you've done what you need to do with, example:- sprayed, place it roof side down on a nice soft area, I personally used bubble wrap on the floor. 2. First thing is placing the fabric roof panel back on so it clips in 3. Screw the side plastic back on with the 4 screws inside the metal work 2. I used black sealant glue aswel to make sure it stays in place so layer abit all the way across the metal work 3. You'll notice with the brand new rubber strips they will have sticky parts either end, leave the sticky cover on until the end 4. The aerotop rubbers are labelled LEFT & RIGHT , .... Driver side being RIGHT. Make sure you get the on the right way 5. Place one end in firmly 6. Let it sit, an you may need to give it a little stretch to pull the other end over to fit comfortably 7. Placing the rubber strip on ensure you fit the rubber lip on the inside of the roof panel first as it's much easier this way when fitting the second rubber lip. 8. Second lip I used a flat head screwdriver to make sure it caught the second lip, 9. You'll know it's fitted properly when the outside seal runs flush with the plastic roof lining 10. This is what it will look like if the rubber seal hasn't been fitted correctly, bottom half of picture it's seated correct top half it hasn't, very noticeable 11. When your happy remove the sticky pads and firmly secure it to the roof 12. The make sure you out the 4 screws back in, one in each corner, can be a little tricky lining them up but you'll get there in the end 13. Pat yourself on your back an have a beer for a job well done Edited May 1, 2014 by Carbon_Bullet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_Bullet Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Some new seats as a Christmas present to myself A lot cheaper than the average £600 DC5 red recaro's and personally I think there a lot nicer! Already have the rails from Keron last month. Bargain on eBay for £300 Edited May 1, 2014 by Carbon_Bullet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Really good seats mate ive got the same in mine there out of an evo 9 but ive got the Mitsubishi racing edition ones they're all black then recaro in red. Good price as well and like you said nicer than the dc5 ones people pay £500+ for. Car is going to be awesome when its done you're doing the right thing sending it to Lee trust me.
