On straights yes, round the cor ers it lights the inside wheel up faster, just gotta get used to it i suppose
 
  Ph2 172 MB 77/468
just pull them and they come off

missus was watching x factor last night, so i went in the garage for an hour

plans - remove fog lights, carbon canister, and acoustic valve

got the grill off, and the bumper literally fell off, very safely attached.

as i thought, the reason it had a smoothed front was that the car had been in a bump, cracked wing bracket, new slam panel, cracked glass on headlight, and lower lugs broken off both headlights.

296720_10150287919869023_587484022_7925069_187558114_n.jpg


removed the foglights and loom, and set about finiding out how to remove the carbon canister, i aint got round to this yet, but i know what the crack is now.

also, when removign the acoustic valve, what happens to the wiring to it?

Oh okay mate, what else is holding up the headlining? Any glue? I retrimmed my headlining on my fiesta zs before so it's just about getting off that I need to know about lol
 
  Ph2 172 MB 77/468
put the bumper back on last night, but still need to fix the two broken brackets.

also got the TRS strap in and banded it up so it doesnt hang down like a dogs lipstick.

gotta get another one for the back.

been speaking to a mate about a cage, and getting the funds together to get a whiteline on the back to aid the stock suspension.

once its been to the isle of man at the end of the month, its strip out time :D

mates got a weighbridge next to his unit as well, so we're gonna see how much weight we can shed . then laugh at the tractor suspension that wll result.

training courses

ive plowed a load of money into learning how to do it, and the material aint exactly cheap either
 
  Ph2 172 MB 77/468
around £500, and trust me, you wont be able to wrap a car properly after one.

you need to have a course, then blow a load on god knows how many metres of vinyl to really hone any skill

update (not really)

moved house, so cars moved into a new garage. which is much bigger than the old garage.

cars been re-insured through sheilas wheels of all companies, for a great price, in fact, less than half of what chris knott wanted for it.

its still up for sale £1300 as it is with 6 months tax and mot. the fact it sits there even more now than before means i cba with it.

want the money for another motorbike.

also getting a skoda splitter on it this weekend courtesy of stancewhore, and i'll be removing the towstrap and selling that to a chav.
