Hi Wilki,

The cover was £150 and designed for a MKII and fits pretty snug!

This is a temporary measure until I get the garage cleared of all the crap!!

Hi All,

Update...

I dropped of the two front wheels at a local specialist to have the small buckles taken out, They rang this morning and all done! Should get them back on tonight.

The car has a Gizzmo MS-IBC which shows boost but decided to still buy another matching boost gauge in psi to fit in with the current gauges.

Image

Also bought some puddle lights.

Image

Image

The car is booked in next week with GTS-Chris to have the Apexi mapped! Good times!!

Also got a set of Rev 3 rear lights from RedMR2..

Dropped them off at me pals tonight to be machine polished! Get them nice and shiny again.

Decided to keep the Rev 1 center panel with the El-Glo badge, so will be moddifying it a little to suit the curve on the new lights. Hope to get them fitted this weekend.

You won't be able to modify the centre panel to fit bud, as its made from aluminium bars, that are affixed through the rev1/2 brackets. If you try and cut it, it'll fall to bits

Hi All,

Got a few more things done today, nothing major like.

Been down to Sunderland to have some professional photos taken of the 2 by DBNE photography. Was pretty good and the weather was really nice, should get the finished shots next weekend.

Replaced the rear cusco brace sticker with a new one.

Image

Also wrapped the plastic around the gear gator with some 3M Carbon Wrap.

Image

Tomorrow's job is to fit the master cylinder brace / wire in the puddle ligts and start to fit the new boost gauge.

Cheers Craig
