I've temporarily fixed them with some M5 x20 bolts. Will definatly be swapping them for rivets though because they'll be a tw@ to get off once rusted.
4.8x20 rivet are the ones you need mate.
Pope's to the shops this morning. Those side skirt bracket things are lethal, I nearly lost a leg!
?Skirts back on now (the car, not me?) and interior cleaned. 2.3 minutes of rain fell today so the car looks filthy again?. Hopefully will have time for a quick wash Friday.
I took the side skirt off today and straightened out the Jacking point as best I could so the skirt will sit right again. It needs a proper fix before it gets battered even more when it needs to go to a garage for anything. At least its not rusted into dust yet.
While I was there I undid the...
Last year's winner was well deserved imo. It'll be hard to choose between @LY_Kimmy_182 and @benji93. Your Trophy is a fine example too though @MarcB ?. I'm sure there will be some other fine examples too.
They weigh a metric f**k tonne so I'm not taking them out pal ?. As I've no where to store the standard seats they are being passed on tomorrow so I guess when I'm done with 182 ownership it'll be getting broken anyway?. That'll not be for a while yet though as the wife has a home improvement...
Yeah I'm going to take the skirt off tomorrow and hopefully I won't find anything horrifying behind it. I need to get the car cleaned tomorrow as it's minging at the moment!
Just you wait! I got a Megane F1 Team in 06, the first ones to be fitted with recaro's anf as far as I'm aware I was the first to put big RECARO stickers on the base. See what that started!
Very nice original touches you've added there Andy. It's all in the details as they say?. I expect the sill protectors and bullits will be copied once the Facebook lot catch a glimpse.
Not good rubbing through a brake pipe, almost as bad as my last 5 GTT that rubbed a hole in the fuel line, right near the carburetor!
And before the grammar police arrive, what colour were you going to dye? ?
Noticed a gap by the side skirt a while ago but couldn't figure out what was the cause.
Well I figured it out today and it ain't pretty?.
Jacking point is completely squished. FML?. I'll have to take the side skirt off to sort it without risking damage to the skirt.
In other news though:

I spotted an EVO 5 yesterday, I hope if they do build a new one it's suitably outrageous looking.
I'm loving that purple!
I was planning on washing my car this evening while it's cool but I've just had a quick hour battle with some shitty flat pack garden furniture and now I cba?.
