Default DBM Bug Updates

This is how she stands after the latest round of mods. Had a clean so it makes a difference. I've fitted a CDF rear towing eye (but no pics yet) and am in the process of repainting the sideskirts and rear spat on the drivers side to get them looking good for the Uxbridge Autoshow



























Plus one of the kids enjoying a local meet

A fair bit of cash spent there, looking good though, think you need an STI pedel set to go with the gaiter surround and gear ****, there is a set at Jap Parts at the moment.

I love the look of your car it is one of the bug eyes that has made me want one of that model!!

Question though, the harness bar looks sweet and works well with your seats although do you remove it for day to day driving? Or do you not have people in the back? As id like one but would be worried if the unfortunate happened they would smack their head against it and do some real damage?

Overall your call is def an inspiration to us all!!

It is a right pig, but it is worth it. Use plenty of wheel sealant

My kids go in the back, and the inertia reel in the seatbelt should lock before they hit it. I am getting some pads made up though.

I just wanted something different for the mirrors, the ganador and carbon ones are too common, and I've only seen these on Ricey's before. Tow hook is fitted, but I need to put a coat of lacquer on the rear spat
