Did you pass second time then? It's always the small stupid things you fail on... I don't see the point of the methods they teach you for parking as its easier just doing it your own way hahah

yeah passed second time buddy I find it easier the way my instructor taught me lol, otherwise i dont get in straight

 

[Kchristmas]

Ahh good, better drivers pass second time and when I was taking lessons I just lined my mirrors with the other car and reversed in etc and got it straight every time. At one point he even folded my mirrors so I didn't have them and still got it perfect haha.

Shame I couldn't reverse bay park aswell

I'm hopefully getting coilovers next Friday if money goes to plan

Took a week to come but we'll worth it

 

[DanEdser]

[Kchristmas]

I didn't see the point in the sticky pads though as they didn't do much :/

 

[DanEdser]

true, when i first fitted mine i put the clips in before i put the wind deflectors in and they just fell out :L

thats why i should read instructions xD

 

[Kchristmas]

I found them easyish to fit but I didn't understand the daft clips :S

 

[DanEdser]

Hey mate, had a quick search but can't seem to find anything decent...

How do you remove the fog lights? My Lamin-X has come today and I'm hoping to fit it tomorrow

Hey up, if you stick your head under car there is a gap at either side to get to foglights. Unplug the wires to the fogs which are on clips as always.

there will be two torx screws on each foglight, one at either side of the lights which need to be removed

the light should twist slightly to one side and pull out

if you want I can get some pictures ???

Hope this helps

 

[-Danman-]

Right okay then, doesn't sound too hard. I'll have to jack it up though

Yeah pictures would be helpful, PM me if you like so you don't clutter up your thread lol

 

[Kchristmas]

Yeah I'll get some in 10 mins

 

[-Danman-]

okay thanks

After missing out on some coilovers again I have bought a small number plate for the recess and wheels will be going gloss black during the week

 

[Kchristmas]

Small number plate fitted and 3 of 4 wheels painted black. Also jakey92 is coming to fit some apex 40mm lowering springs for me. Pics will be up tomorrow

 

[marinemackay2003]

[GavC]

Fantastic

 

[Kchristmas]

Abit has happened since the last update being: alloys resprayed black, lowered about 45mm on apex springs and a 3/4 plate pics below

And a couple with jakey92 who fitted the springs

Next will be wheel spacers I think
