Default Little tidy up on the Bomber.

Hi chaps,

Been pretty quiet around the forum recently. So just thought id post a little update of some small refreshments on the car.

Rear Brembos have been refurbished in black/yellow to match my APs up front.


Rear diff guard got a freshen up


Rear ARB, brackets and links also got a jolly up with some fresh powdercoat. All fitted up with new stainless fasteners and new rear pads in the calipers.
None of this can be seen but at least I know it's all reasonably tidy again for the summer.




Also have some more bits and pieces going on but will update when I have more to show.

Cheers, frayz

That looks really good Frayz, did you strip the old paint on the Arb before powdercoating?

The diff guard used to be available to buy a a Prodrive part from Prodrive themselves. However I haven't seen one one a car for a long long time.
I have polished and painted my one in the Prodrive colours. Standard they are a brushed finish.

Yes Matt it's 100% legal.
Ive discussed this at length with my MOT tester. (MOT man for 40 years)
It's reflective, regulation size, font, spacing and dimensions. It can also clearly be seen and read from the front on the vehicle.

It meets every requiremt in the MOT test and has been tested with it on.

has the plate got the BS number on it and the name and postcode of the maker?, this is a very small thing but if the MOT was done properly without this im sure its now an MOT fail. so i read on well known reg site :

The British Standard also requires that a number plate must be marked with the following information: the British Standard Number, the name, trade mark, or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier, the name and postcode of the supplying outlet.

just a little help so you know as ive have it taken off mine lol

They gotta catch me first

Lol, joking aside. When i also put this to the MOT guy he said it wasnt a fail because of it. Ive also never heard of a copper pulling a car for one.
