Also had all my orange dash SMD's changed to white and blue along with carbon skinning my dial fascia too, purely just update the dated look a bit, I know its unnecessary bling for what will eventually be a track car, but I want to build a track car that is also a nice place to be on the inside...
It was probably the fastest i've ever sold something too mate haha,
Im not usually a fan of the zinc stuff but they really have done an awesome job, they do come out well especially on new bolts. Got them done from a place called Moss Metal Finishing, not far from me mate give them a look up...
I also had my hubs Hot Chemically Black Oxide Coated, which is a chemical conversion coating, and unlike zinc that is merely applied to the surface Black Oxide Coating is a result of a chemical reaction between the ferrous metal and the Oxide salts, which means it doesnt increase the dimensional...
GAZ camber bolts came out great, these were a must, due to the eccentricity washer that is welded on is unfinished mild steel, would have rust before I had chance to fit it to the car
To add to my previous comment @smiffyboy im using new Genuine OEM Ren bolts that have been clear zinc plated then followed with a CR+6 yellow pass and de-embrittled for 8 hours to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Not usually a fan of yellow passed zinc but the quality is outstanding
Before...

Quick wash, seal and a polish, my plate fell off during the great winter snow depression, think my foam pads absorbed some water and it froze off haha. My car most certainly doesn't have the best paintwork bt it does clean and polish up well.
Love this shot from my house
Hmmmmm dat arch gap...
Next up was to press the hubs and bearings out...
Pressed out the hub from the upright using an alloy slug to prevent any damage. Came out easily enough with a 20tonne press
New cup bearing (slightly larger over stock)
Hub released, the plonker who owned the car obviously hasn't had much...
Updates are getting harder and harder to keep up with! Hate to always keep saying it but man im busy!! Plenty of new gooedies bought all in preparation of a full corner overhaul and refurb of the hubs etc.. So began taking advantage of the sandblasting cabinet at uni which made short work of the...
I know exactly what kinda thing your talking about mate, as i was looking into something similar myslef before I had a cage and bucket seats.
I'm pretty confident it was somebody on here that just made there own head rest camera mount using some ally box section from B&Q think it was like the...
