You still on apex? Get some decent springs/coilovers and the wheels will feel better :wink:

Glad you like the mounts too.

Only thing is, I'm going to have to do mine all by hand, unless I can pinch @dann2707 DA for a few hours, wink wink Dan

Im sure Dan would lend you his mate, if not i have one, you could come round to mine and do it, get Dan over too for a mini meet :smiley:

It felt better because they're lighter mate. Your also reducing the unsprung weight so it improves the handling at the same time.

Yes mate, this is one of the biggest differences i have felt for improvements to driveability tbh :up:
 
I have just ordered a gear gaiter with silver stitching, after payday i am going to contact snappy for a wheel refurb with silver stitching etc, im keeping it smart and simple.

Just an ebay special mate, iv got one on atm with blue stitching, I trimmed mine down but when its fitted it looks oem tbh :smile:

Wish I was good at sewing as I really want an alcantara with grey stitching gear gaitor and also a similar pretensioner.
 
I decided to fit my new gear gaiter today with white stitching, it will look nice when i eventually get a steering wheel re trim..

I have also just ordered a new cup spoiler brake light has mine wasnt working.
 
That looks really good mate. Just wondering if that is your low/high boost switch next to the gear stick in the pic.

Booked myself in at the body shop Monday for a full rear bumper respray as its not in as good a condition as the rest of the car.

I cant wait tbh as its been bugging me for ages.

Where will you be taking it mate? I need to get some bits done but want somewhere I trust and know will do a good job. What sort of costs are involved mate?
 
I finally got round to replacing my rusty old arch screws for new black ones, i will be replacing the ones in the rear arches tomorrow too when i pick up my freshly painted bumper :) ..

Wow, your bumper looks amazing. Is that a brand new black plastic strip on it too.
Like the screws you got , have you got a link for them?

Cheers mate, no its not a new strip I painted that and the exhaust surrounds satin black, they could do with doing again tbh as they have the odd mark from removing etc.

I'll send you the link to the screws when I have access to my computer, my phones s**t which makes it difficult :)
 
Passed its mot today, one advisory which was slight play in nearside bottom ball joint, I knew I should have changed them both when i did the offside one the other week.

Easy cheap job tho to keep me entertained:)
