gonna do it yourself now then??, with a little help from yours truely lol, i want to do mine too but dont wanna take bumper off lol, maybe we could look at doing it with it still on(lazy i know but anything to save time)

I will be doing it myself indeed mate, i will have to take the bumper off though because it needs to be fibreglassed otherwise filler will crack so fibreglass needs to be done from inside/out.

UPDATE!

Port and polished throttle body.

Right just a small update, after a random idea and the fact that i couldnt live without my car for a couple of days i decided to port and polish my throttle myself. This is what it looks like



I thought it came out pretty well and it is a well worth while mod as you do feel the difference, as much as people argue about it the throttle reponse is better.

New Brakes.

Picked up some new brakes, got 406 V6 coupe calipers, carriers and 283mm disks.

Am in the middle of painting so i will get some pics up of them once i have finished them, got some new brake hoses on the way so im hoping to have them fitted by next weeked but we shall see!!!

MK1 Rear lights.

After being told that MK1 lights would look a lot better on my car, the hunt to find a set was on! So i set my sights to ebay as i havent got time to go to a scrappy and the ones by me are pretty useless.



So i got myself a set think deals for £4.75!! I took a pic with one of each on the car so comments and thoughts please!!



Thats about it for now, will be some more updates end of next week

Comments please guys!!! :hug:

Yea i know mate, just think rather spend the money on other things at the moment £50 on lights just seems a bit much lol

SMALL UPDATE

Well after much talk of widemouthing i thought well today on my day off id do it :clapping:

Well heres the pics so let me know what you think :y:



Say goodbye to the slats :n:



Once it had been cut out :fcuk:

The next bit was the pain in the arse, a hell of alot of sanding and about 2/3 hours later this is how it looked......................



For now thats about it, i am going to pick up the paint etc 2moro but i wont actually be able to paint it until sunday which is my next day off.

I put the number plate back on as i have to drive it to work for the next 2 days.



Thats how it looks now.

I also gave it a quick clean, id already cleaned it the evening before but i noticed a couple of swirls so got some Meg's Scratch X involved and did the whole car, no more swirl marks or scratches :cool:



Let me know what you think guys :y:

(All pics are from my mobile so not really all that great lol :n:)

essexdon 8th April 2009 23:56

The plans are to fibreglass, paint and use black mesh behind the hole.
