Fitted the steering wheel today! Had to use my original airbag cover as my airbag was attched to that and you can't get it off, so excuse the slight colour difference. Car defo needs a clean inside!! Was also doing an oil change today but found out the filter didn't have a spindle so need to get one in order to complete the process!

Good eve! Bit of bad news on my steering wheel.. When I turn, the horn flickers. And you can hear the wiring (white thin wiring) inside moving about which makes like a sorta clicking/shuffle noise. So that's next on the to do list. More problems! why oh why haha!!

Well this morning did abit of running around, went to a breakers yard, and got myself a new airbag squip along with the unit behind it, so now, I have no problems steering or any risk of an airbag K.O-ing me! And, for some amazing reason, after changing the squip, my airbag light has gone off thank goodness!! Irrating thing, best not come back.
SPACERS! Getting some hubsentric spacers soon, going to do 25mm on the rears, and 20mm down on the fronts. Neat! Eibach's are getting fitted soon as you know, getting new tyres also soon, and then finally, colour coding. Aiming to do most of that by just the start/mid into september! keep your eyes peeled.
New one on, the one i'm holding is fu***ed

Well if you don't find anything i'll consider selling to you for £80 posted, and then i could find myself a pearl black one, ( knew i should of waited to get a pb one haha, just became inpatient and just any colour bumper.) so then i've saved myself a good amount of money from coloue coding!:) i'm an idiot haha!!

well, small little update! I suffered from boredom yesterday and today. So what came to my mind was to spray my engine cover. Yesterday: Tried and failed so bad because i rushed it and cans were cold ect ect., and then lost it completely and chucked it in the bin haha. Then today, I went to the bin and got the bloody thing out and went for it again. And I must say, not a bad outcome! Not great, but it's only temporary to see what it looks like on the engine and go from there really. so here is what i did this morn:

and then once it was done ( as i like my surf/skate brands) I stuck these two stickers on it, remember it's only temporary haha! I've also ordered a light blue CS URL sticker to go on it.. and I also gave my engine bay a super quick clean, nothing much, not the best either but abit better!

Looks like a k&n. I always wanted to change filter on my 1.2 but never got round to getting one.

Engine cover looks good.
Have you changed your springs yet? Mine come tomorrow. You influenced me ;)

I have no clue if they burn more petrol, but if they do i can imagine it would be sosososooo little maybe! In a couple of months i'm probably getting a KTEC Stealth!
