Glad you likey 
As for engine mods, yes - eventually! Ideally I'd like a reliable 300bhp but as I have the stoopid 'can't do anything with it' ecu it'll involve an ecu swap which, at the moment, funds won't allow!!

Finally, some more progress 
With NBO fast approaching I thought I'd better get my *** in to gear and get this bonnet done
Its had a few coats of high build primer today
Primered my new boot spoiler up too whilst I was at it (99p ebay bargain!).....
As I'm painting my wheels white I thought the grey on the fog covers would look outta place so these are primered too and will be getting a coat of the blue!
Hoping to get them all in blue tomorrow and fitted by the weekend

Ha, will be on by the weekend 
Cheers fella. I'm hoping I've made the right choice. Just have to see how it looks when its all fitted!!
Cheers Now go tell my boss that so he gives me an easier time
Don't think I'm that good! Its not perfect by any means, but it doesn't matter, I'm more than happy with the results!
I used 2K paint this time, I have to say its sooooooo much easier to paint with than the celly and the shine from the gun is awesome! Less polishing to be done this time
Look at the dust on my garage floor!! The stripe is where the door shuts to
Slightly better pic, now its dry

A couple of marginally better pictures.
Fog covers and black crystal sidelights fitted.
Just need to decide what colour decals to put on the covers......

Been busy this afternoon.....
Built up my blue mirrors
These will be put on tomorrow.
Temporarily fitted my track wheels
So I could sand down and prime these
Followed by a coat of paint
Finished, unmasked and drying
Sneaky peak, was too dark to get a decent pic
