Set of GSI Skirts purchased, never fitted to a car, compete with all jacking point covers, clips and rivets for the sum of £54 bargain even if i do say so myself!

Going to paint the tops of the stock bumpers at first but i might look at fitting a GSI front if one turns up in good condition and not the usual tat.

LOL Went to collect them tonight and the girl selling them said "o i have all the plastic clips to mount them so you might as well have them" so driving home i was feeling quite smug and then when i got home i looked in the bag and all the rivets are in there as well so i am pretty made up to be honest!
Going to see about fitting them tomorrow i think. Not a job i am looking forward to though!!

New skirts:
Then in typical fashion you discover something you really wish you had not! Pulled 3 of the plastic arches lips off and all was good, then i pulled the drivers side rear one off! After a prod with the screwdriver i had this mess on the floor:
And this mess on the arch:
Needless to say thats now getting sorted 100% along with the cross member next week.

Ordered a repair panel today, for the sakes of £20 its not worth messing about with bits of metal trying to sort it out myself. Should be welded in and sorted by next Friday.
Just need to sort a exhaust place to do my system ad get it all mated up now.

My turbo came from GT3turbo and i took that up to Nortech and had him make me a manifold and downpipe how i wanted it done as i was running a different turbine housing to standard.

Cheers tom but i dont have access to a trailer so getting it over to sheffield to exhaust uk would be a bit of a hassle.

Well collected my repair panel earlier and i think its tomorrow its meant to be going to the garage but i am not sure! Think i had better ring them first thing in the morning to check.
Also i decided i had better stick the Apexi to its mount and tie up a few loose ends today incase tomorrow is the big day.
If it is expect a good update soon. Sadly the exhaust might have to wait to be sorted until i am back in work.
