much better, and yes if you hoover the dash you will loose bits of it. I used either a damp cloth or a soft brush just to go over it

Well bit of an update over Christmas.

Ive sold the plate off the car to the original owner, this has allowed me to buy a roof flap,

Next up i found out that the discs are now warped on the d2's so they have gone and been replaced with brembo calipers and discs,

With it being my birthday 1st of jan, i asked for money.

With that i got a jdm grille, some hella horns and a pink badge haha

Preferred the XXRs tbh, think they suit the car better. Now stop messing with your car and get my grills painted

Maybe you should re-spray the XXR's a different colour. If only you knew a sprayer!

Got a shed load done on the car today.

Fitting of a spec c roof flap

Now alot of people use frayz guide, which is great. But there is one piece of miss information.

Once your lining is down, he says to remove this part.

But infact the bracket for the roof vent uses this for centring and strength.

*

See how the screws that held the map lights in, now hold the frame, after this you can bolt the other two holes

Then you cam centre punch all your holes and get the drill out.
