due to not having a undertray for a while a lot of road grime has flicked up into the engine bay, quick clean up and spruce up. once new rocker cover is replaced will give engine bay a proper going over:

been a bit slack on here lately, been busy !

heres some catch up:

abs/dsc warning lights came on so I replaced all 4 abs sensors, after doing all this the problem was still there, turns out it was a faulty wire so i soldered it and all works fine again

old next to new:



and also swapped some corroded bolts as 1 rounded off and took an hour to get out

Finally got the wheels fitted (special thanks to machine monkey for letting me have some old tyres to check the wheels would fit before I spent big money on new)

Gave the car a good clean and even polished my tips!!! I'm crap with photos and angles etc so I just went snap happy and here's a select few! Cars not finished yet but I'm very, VERY happy with it!

Enjoy:
















(REALLY need to update my sig photo haha)

Love it mate, the white roll hoop covers really compliment your car, id say only proper carbon finer cover may look even nicer, but this really does look great mate.

nice job on the car, exited to see what you are up to next. Love the wheels too
