James your car looks stunning now. 100% better with black sidelights and I'd say it'd finish it off with black indicators.

Top job as usual Ryan

Thinking of having some Aerocatch bonnet clips fitted but unsure on which option to go for.
Either carbon finish, standard black or standard black sprayed to match colour of the car?

The carbon finish will look cheap compared to the weave on your bonnet, and I've found that the paint is coming off mine after a couple of years. I'm going to do them in plastidip in a satin black and it that doesn't work get rid of my white ones and get some black ones

So no to the carbon then

So stay with black or get them colour coded? I'm thinking coded now

Wouldn't bother but the bonnet flexes around quite a bit at speed

I would go with plain black - if you don't like them you can always get Ryan to paint them later

Well after considering selling up I'm now back to getting the car sorted again for the summer, or lack of!

Look at what I've got

Cars back with Ryan to get some things sorted


Replace rear wheel bearing
Replace and spray rear bumper
Check passenger door, not closing properley
Give full body detail, checking for scratches, chips etc and discussing action once found
Change Air/Fuel & Oil filters
Change Spark plugs
Change Engine, Gearbox & Diff oils
Fit Ksport front brakes and newage rears
Grease Rear ARB bushes
Fit CDF Brake Stopper
Fit CDF ALK
Fit CDF lightweight pulleys
Change Fuel Pump
Sound deaden front doors, boot & under rear seats

Looking forward to getting the car back on track as it's not been enjoyable driving with a shot wheel bearing

Whilst she's off the road going to be sending my Rotas off to Mags to be powder coated Hyper Black and wrapped in new rubber

Here's the fuel pump fella - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261222911508
Alright have a Walbro fitted but it was 2nd hand and I've had it in a couple of years, so best to swap it out just in case really

Original arms mate and my misses reversed into my car a few months back so needs a new rear bumper fitting and spraying up
