The other two headlights arrived today, hoarder













Needs an early VR6 splitter asap! Can get them for about £25 but need to see some money coming in before i spend mroe

Also checked the MOT properly and realised there was an advisory sheet, only thing on there was the exhaust, so thats a good excuse to change it soon

Gear box oil got changed earlier today.



Picked these up last night very cheap and covered in overspray.



So got the T-cut out and set to work.




Still a little bit left around the edges in those pics.

Set about fitting them.

Before:


After:



Still undecided on them but they're growing on me.

Ta peeps

Rear centre caps went on earlier too but was too dark to get pics.

Next stop is Lemass on monday

Only Things left after that will be:

Exhaust (current one was an advisory)
Spacers
Light smoke tints
Drill airbox
May do an interior swap if i find a damaged colour concept going cheap enough as i prefer the recaros plus the contrast with yellow or blue would look pretty But I'm in no rush for that.

Not sure on the lights.

A set of CL rears with the indicators done red(all red rears) would have looked good and contrasted well with the dark paint colour.

Paint the drivers door the right colour and get the alignment right and im going to see how much extra to paint the door mouldings and align the front end better.

the wheels in general are a lot heavier than the 16's, althought the 17's would look better.

It's in Toms capable hands now should be collecting sat.



Seen some colour concept recaros and door cards, black with the yellow inserts

Cheers colonel they will be getting spaced out when the Nissan is gone. Interior has grown on me, keep toting with the idea of colour concept recaros though as the front seats are alot more supportive. But the creamy beige contrast doesn't look too bad.

Fazza - I wanted 17's but have decided they would be too heavy. I think the monty's look better in person, will try and get some decent pics when it is back

Tom - the passenger door is catching on the wing and has rubbed the paint away, it also sticks out further than the body. I know the bumper bar needs replacing but not sure if that is affecting how the wing sits? I know what you mean about that door, mum and I were out there for ages
