Pics of the mirror caps



Got some of the badgeless side strips. Unsure weather to colour code them though!



(Excuse the mess, Went down a muddy road the other day!)

Also finally fitted the Irmscher rear splitter!



Still trying to find a genuine front one. Can't find one anywhere!

Lowered the car today. Lowered it by 40mm all around on Jamex springs.



Now need a new abs sensor as the abs and traction control light is on. One of the wires was damaged and had been repaired by soldering and a scotchlock!

Fitted the front splitter aswell. Chuffed with how it looks now. Just need to finish repairing the sideskirts!





Also got a set of Irmscher boot struts from the scrappy for a fiver!

Here is one of the bonnet struts i have been meaning to get for a while!

Had a busy couple of days on the car, So here it goes!

Fitted a set of smoked side repeaters



Stuck on some Irmscher shilouette badges onto the doors and fitted the colour coded side strips



Fitted a smaller ariel the other week, didn't get a pic of it as i forgot all about it!



When i took the pic i noticed some cracks around the base of the ariel. As i touched it it snapped off along with the wire. Looks like someone had a go at trying to nick it and ended up snapping it off! No wander the radio hasn't worked for a few days! Got a replacement from the scrappys for £1, Just need a new rubber base now!



Also got the sideskirts fitted and re fitted the mudflaps.





Will be polishing it all up properly when the Black hole polish and hi def wax turns up, Try to get it looking all clean again!


What do you all think so far?

Put the bonnet extention on, But i'm not 100% on it. Think it makes it look like there is too much on the car. Can't make my mind up weather to keep it or not!



Also whilst i was picking up the bonnet extention, Seen he had a cross hatch grille, Been looking for one for a bit and thought might as well get it!



Ordered a shilouette irmscher badge and carrier for it aswell!

The grill was £15 then another £10 for the badge and carrier.

When i lowered it i just used 40mm jamex lowering springs. The ride isn't too bad with them, Isn't too stiff and bouncy either.

Only problem is the adjustment in the lights are broke and one is different from the other. Just going to save time and hastle and get a new set.

Still got it, But it isn't fitted to the car. Didn't like how it looked on the car think it looked too much on the car.
