After receiving my prop shaft back from Bailey Morris (of which i have mixed opinions of) i also purchased an SRD prop hoop / tunnel brace.

Tbf the prop came back looking brand new again and the guy i spoke to upon collection seemed nice enough. The first guy i spoke to whilst dropping it of was an absolute tool though. They have re clipped the UJs and re balanced it - begrudgingly under warranty (with the help of a gentle nudge from Lee) Fingers crossed this now cures my high speed vibration! 

The purchase of the prop hoop was a no brainer, in the event of the prop breaking, the hoop should contain it to prevent it from doing too much damage to the floor. Atleast on the diff end anyway.

Gave it a little wet sand and a quick polish before fitting it.

also had to trim a little bit off the bottom to clear my exhaust

After getting the prop back on i then started to look at how i was going to go about installing the under glow 😁

2 things are for certain. First of all i absolutely do not want to be able to see the actual strips and secondly i refuse to bodge this - like every single underglow installation I've every seen. For some reason people just seem to cable tie it where ever they can or screw it into the floor with zero sympathy for the car. 

Im going to make proper tracks for it to sit in using angle tray. Keeping it neat, not drilling additional holes into the car and not allowing the strips to be visible.

So i bought some 10mm x 20mm aluminium angle tray and made a start on the rear bumper strip

I removed the rear bumper lower strip that attaches the bumper to the fuel tank protector and riveted the tray into those holes.
