Right, time for a big update, with LOADS of pictures im sure i take too many at times
Ah well, on with the updating!
NB: majority of these pictures are a couple of months old, just never get time to spend updating, so i may forget a couple of things.
NBB: some pictures are off my phone, so quality is crap, but you know.

Bought some Insignia washer jets off eBay ages ago -
Did a bit of chopping, cut a thread into it -
Ta Daaa -
Out with the old -
And in with the new -
(for anyone fitting them, i found the easiest way to get the nut on the bottom was to use a really thin screwdriver and slot it into the washer jet)
Arty farty -
Much better.

LED's got a more modern take to them, blue was so 4 years ago...well, it wasnt even all blue
Before -
Gf bought me all new interior units/led's <3
MFD before -
Only half working
After -
New window switches -
Other units -
And the dials... -
These went wrong, in that they were never bright enough AT ALL and one decided 'merh, im not gonna work kthxbye'
So, i smashed these little baddies out - at a cost of £5 each -
Apparantley they're the bollocks -
Well, they're pretty damn gooooood
Not been able to get a great picture of them atm, but ill grab one at some point, they're brilliant, £15 well spent !

Right, the best part so far by this point
Took a trip up to Norrfff to see vaux.dan, great chap
Left with this -
After a drive on the moors and a CostCo hotdog, my new seats were home
Thanks again Dan
Alex popped round to give them a clean for me, top chap
Came up great!
Made some brackets
Fitted one (at full height in the picture) -
Drivers side -
Took brackets back out and sprayed them because im gay -
Then, one sunny morning, i started with this -
And ended with this -
Popped up Donnington Market and bought this -
Bit of help from mum (as always) -
All one colour again

Car is looking great mate loving all the little touches
So simple but very affective.
Rear needs to go up a little tho.

Car is awesome. So subtle but really really nice. I agree with Mark.W though in that the rear is perhaps a little too low lol.
G60s look great. Can't help but think that Depos would work really well and then match the MHWs.
Either that or have you thought about instead of smoking the headlights, paint the inside bit white?

Thanks for the replies.
Yeah, thinking I need a bit more practicality out of the rear.
Headlights - I've got these in still because I put them in for winter when I took the fk's out. They'll maybe go back in.....maybe

I love your updates.
The attention to detail is what makes it different from the rest IMO.
