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

powerwrx 03 January 2016 03:36 PM

nice mate cant wait to see it in the flesh again. I'm sure the original owner will be very happy to get his plate back ;)

Very nice bug that :thumb:

cuprajake 04 January 2016 11:58 PM

Well the car is back on the xxr.

Turns out the rota gra i swapped for were inovit tarmacs, got back in touch with the guy a d swapped back.

Having to run a small 3mm spacer to clear the new brembos, as these wheels are a smaller offset.

Plus side the brembo are now black

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

cuprajake 05 January 2016 02:51 PM

need to try them on first lol

BrownPantsRacing 05 January 2016 02:55 PM

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.

*Attachment 38935

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

*http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...psq4bec83d.jpg

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

*Attachment 38936

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

*Attachment 38937


*Attachment 38938

Dopily i forgot pics for the hole!!!

But the rest is per guide,

The inside

*Attachment 38939

And out.

*Attachment 38940

Next thing was to remove the old grille to fit my hella horns, and jdm grille.

Also took the bit kf dash our were then flock had flacked amd blacked that.

After that i took the gear knob off, cut the leaver down by about an inch and installed a new knob

Final pics
