Bryan Bro's Moonlight Blue 225

We'll do a photoshop (I say we I can't use phosotop so James will). We will do a few colours, but I'm not sure black will go with a blue car. So I'm not entirely sure what colour to do them. I don't even know what finish to get them in gloss or matt? Do you know the bolt sizes truffs?

I fixed my rear numberplate lights, put 2 elastic bands round the fitment, to squeeze the connection tighter. I'm gonna do my sidelights tomorrow!

Can't wait to get my new wheels on it, don't like the ones that are on it now.
 
wheels will be with you asap mate, not as if they are moving lol. for you though i imagine you're like me, not wanting to put them on till spring and ruining them.

Yeh won't be running them till spring, with all the shite on the roads. I need to decide why colour I'm doing them, I'm swaying towards gunmetal grey tbh.

***little update from us***

Welll the car has been on the back burner for a while now due to work commitments. So i thought it was time to get the car 'fixed up' ready for le mans in june.

Shoping list:

Drop links
Anti-roll bars - the passenger one is taps when turning left, so im just gonna change them all while im at it
New brake pins - ive got them but i cant find them in the house :(
Side lights - as the current ones are flickering
New boost pipe - waiting for ktec to send it out

So between now and le mans in june, i hope nothing else goes wrong as ill have to fix that before we go as well.

A long awaited update from us.

Ive had some parts for a while that have been needing to go on, but the weather hasnt been good enough for me to do them. So while i had 3 days off this week, and the weather was half decent, i decided to set about swapping the parts. I thought i wouldnt get too far ahead of myself so only decided to do the drop links today.

Some pics (sh*te blackberry ones though):

Whilst changing the drop links we noticed a crack in my front passenger wishbone, so that is going to need replacing at some point. But im not that bothered as im slowly but surely redoing the whole suspension.

Looked great on Sunday mate!

Such an awesome colour. Although you need some rummage ASAP. :eek:

It'd look brutal on black R26.R wheels.

I think I need a new set of drop links.. getting a knocking on the passenger side, DOH!

Did you fit gen. or motor factor items?

Reckon black would work on dark blue/black/purple... it's a really weird colour to work with.

It's actually my brother's car, but yes there was knocking when cornering.

I think this has sorted it for now, but we're slowly refurbing most of the front suspension.
