If I could get morettes with a lugs etc. intact I would be interested but I see most sets sell for £100.

That's why I'm in no rush to buy brand new angel eyes as they're basically £100

£100 is cheap for a set of lights. Talking more around £150 for a decent set.

Hoping to get Sam's angel eyes and then I'll be sorted for a while with the beast as it may have to go a couple months in storage

Did look at Team Heko wind deflectors and bonnet lifters for smaller and cheaper mods though

Took a couple of photo's after I dropped the rear a bit more and gave it another clean, love how well Simoniz products work considering all I do is rinse, wash, rinse and give it a quick wipe down with a couple microfibre cloths

Would like the wheels refurbished in gloss black but that costs money

I use the rear wiper quite a lot so no chance haha!

I'm away next week so I'll probs crack on with a few things when I get back. Main job will be to get a caramel wheel drill part to get rid of the damn glue!

I dont miss mine at all, even though i cant see out the back of the window after a couple days without washing the car used to have a punto one on mine which looked tidier than standard one.

Haven't messed around with it lately as it is my daily but fitted Team Heko Wind Deflectors that came yesterday and gave it a good clean as the birds seem to love targeting it at work (Not the good kind of birds though )

Have received a GSI rear anti roll bar that I bought of MELV14 and hopefully plan to fit it Saturday

Have been thinking of getting spare plastic trims and possibly doing them gloss black as I'm hoping to get my wheels refurbed soon. There was a lad on AllCorsa who did his and it really makes a difference.

I like gloss black trims but prefer colour coded tbh. Both would look good tho

I did think colour coded at first but I don't fancy going down the GSI rep route as then it wouldn't look right without skirts. May see what I can get at local scrappys

Bought a GSI rarb and gave it a quick rub down and paint as it was a bit rusty and had a bit of blue brake caliper paint that I didn't want to go to waste





Came across a massive pain as I struggled to get the standard one out even with copious amounts of WD40 and loads of welly



It looks like the rear axle has rusted to the ends and nothing would get it out so I just put some new bolts in and hope I can actually fit the rarb I bought

Anyway had my wheels refurbed and sprayed gloss black by Ultimate Paint with a cheeky discount, shit quality pic so it doesn't reveal the true beauty of them



After my failure to fit the rarb I gave it a clean and also polished it with this stuff



Gave it a nice sheen even though I only buffed the front properly as had to rush the sides and rear so I could get to work in time








Had to admire the view



When it's closer to Castle Combe one of the guys from Ultimate Paint said he'd give the whole paintwork a good buff to get rid of most of the scratches and then machine polish it with the Autoglym stuff to give it a decent finish, which means no more nasty glue on the sides and most of the scratches should go as well

Totally, I'm in love with them!

I always thought I'd go for the matte black look but looking at how good the shine is I've been converted

Plus there was an Audi with matte black wheels in the bodyshop and it wasn't to my taste

Fitting that rarb is going to make no difference to your car.



If I were you I'd concentrate on removing rest of glue off the door. Has come up
Really nice after a clean

I'm guessing from looking at both it's just thicker and more rigid, the one on my car was bending like mad when I was getting out the rubber holding it in place in the middle
