No worries mate, anything else, PM me! and yeah mate, don't mess about!

Brilliant ideas and love the black/ colour scheme mate. Wouldn't mind seeing your wheels when they're finished as well. You were thinking of xenons weren't you? I got them last week, and they finish te front of the car off nicely. Shame about mot time, when they have to e swapped back to standard, but it only takes 30mins to change them over. I'll keep an eye on this pal.
They don't have to be swapped back at MOT.

You sure? I've read on here you don't need too, but been told they need autocorrectors and washers to pass an mot, which I hasn't got.
Section 1.7 of the MOT tester's manual:
Vehicles fitted with HID/LED headlights may be fitted with self-levelling and headlight washer systems. Where such systems are fitted, they must be operational.
Reasons for rejection: Headlight washers/self-levelling inoperative.
Headlight washers and levelling are a legal requirement, but they aren't required for the MOT.

Technically, the car must have both fitted, because retrofitted systems must meet the standard set out in the type approval for new cars. However, MOT testers can't fail every car that doesn't have them fitted because some older cars (such as the Toyota Supra) didn't have them from the factory.
So theoretically a copper could write you a ticket because your car isn't entirely road legal, but in 999 cases of 1000 he won't because the roadworthiness of the vehicle isn't affected and xenons fitted properly won't cause anyone any harm.
As we're talking about Ph.2's here, you can fit the proper D2S Xenon bulbs and OEM ballasts and igniters, so just say they came fitted from the factory like that and they'll probably believe you. Us Ph.1 owners have to try to explain away HID kits lol.

Still looking good though mate, keep it up!
Yep i was thinking the same thing! and yeah fair enough mate, cheers for the heads up!Get a pressure washer on those arches, weight saving after all that dirt has gone
Also might be worth supporting the car with something like a axel stand or bricks next time, just in case.
Doesn't matter how quick the job is those scissor jacks slip very easily.
and yeah, today they didn't look too safe tbh!
The OEM jacks are made of cheese. Only today I was reading a thread where one had collapsed.
Flimsy as ever!
Went at it with the Hammerite again today, but on the Calipers. Only got one picture, but you get the idea of the other side... The same. Also bought some Spring Compressors in preparation for next weekend (Sorry the pics a bit bright, but that's news paper wrapped around the top of the disk and around the outskirts of the caliper.

I've painted the discs aswell as that makes a difference( the rusted bit you see) but I used heat resistant paint as the discs get hot
Ah yeyee that's actually given me a thought, I wonder if they'll show with my 172 alloys... if they do I shall go over them!
Good daaaay! Got my Alloys back lastnight, looking absolutely gorgeous. All kerbing eliminated! So for the minute just getting secondhand tyres to wack on until I'm on the road offically, then some brand new ones will be going on Here is some pictures!
