I need to invest in a decent SLR...as Sunny said, all these pics were taken on my iPhone. The light wasn't great yesterday so by the time I've brightened the pics they lose some clarity.:(

 

Not to worry, here you go

Haha! No secrets mate, just not posting up until standards are met!;)

 

Sounds good to me Liam. The lip now had the tape attached and all the bolts are here. Only issue is my driveway entrance now...don't want to fit the lip and have the car sitting out on the street...will pop to B&Q and see about this cold lay Tarmac as I'm sure the council will be in no hurry on this!

Been considering swapping out the gold parts from the engine bay and going a different route!?:confused:

 

Would anyone be interested in the following bits:

Lexan sparkplug cover painted chrome gold

24ct gold Radiator plinth

24ct gold bonnet stay

24ct god suspension rings (pair)

 

I'm not 100% so just gauging interest folks.

No bother lads I'll have a serious think about what direction I want to take with the look of the bay...I'm awaiting a few bits coming back from The Polisher, so I'll see how it ties together.:)

 

On another note the car is booked in for it's MOT on Saturday. As with any performance car my main worry is regarding emissions so today I pulled the ICV and completely took it apart for cleaning. After ridding it of all the carbon deposits I got slightly carried away and polished it up!:innocent:

Hopefully the car gets through without issue as my spending on this car has gotten a little out of control recently!

The wheels were in decent condition but my OCD would allow me to fit them to my car in this condition, so the refurb begun!

 

The wheels were each split to be cleaned up and polish the lips to a better standard:

I decided that I wanted more dish! So the faces were reverse mounted:

I couldn't wait until the new bolts came to see what they would look like so sat them beside the car to get an idea:

:cool::cool::cool:

 

I've been looking into gold bolts for them but tbh I'm starting to like the look of the standard BBS black ones!

Either way I think they will look awesome once done!;)
