I am thinking of doing the same but as it will still be a road car too I will have the numberplate removable so I can take it off easily when ion track.

Ditto, there's a chance I may end up taxing and mot'ing it yet just so I test drive before a track day etc. I'll be adding some captive riv nuts to the bumper so the plate can be removed easily. I'll post some pics up once done.:up:

Nice and Shiny! I wont be bothering with that but I do intend to slap a bit of grip tape to the floor.

I've been on the look out for a second set of 15" alloys to use as spares or even to try run slicks on the track. Came across these today, might not be the best looking wheels but for £50....yes £50 inc good tyres all be it budget crap, I just couldn't refuse them...

Give then a run down and then a few coats of white paint and they should look ok ish.

Today's job, modify the TRS tow eye to accept a new m16 bolt to fit to the standard clio towing eye bolt hole. Existing hole in the tow loop was only 10mm so need opening up to 16mm..

New bolt now fits...

Then bolted in place...

Bumper back on...

Sourced a centre console to go back in the car as it weighs literally naff all without the ash tray etc and makes the car much more presentable inside, so fitted it today...

Next job was the battery kill switch, I was unsure were to mount this bit eventually decided to bin the two lights on the DIN switch panel and add it there so it was in reach and inline with every thing else...

Then as the weather was ok for a change, gave it a good wash, polish & touch up where needed....
