Well its about time this got an update!

Theres been a few mods to the car since the last update, but ive mainly been enjoying the car for what it is.

However last week i had the Turini's refurbished in prep for the FCS...and i can safely say they are now in OUTSTANDING condition! Im sooo pleased i got them done silver it makes the car look 100x better than before.

Over the weekend I had all 4 wheels off for the following process:

- Rinsed
- Washed using Dodo Juice Born to be mild
- Rinsed
- Dried
- Sealed with EGP extra gloss
- 2 Coats (each wheel) of Poor boys Wheel sealant
- Tyres dressed with megs gel

With the Turini's taken care of I turned my attention to sorting out the paggered looking calipers

Before:





After:



FRESH

With all 4 of the calipers looking considerably better, all 4 Turini's were fitted and the icing on the cake came in the form of my new TPI Polarised wheel bolts That arrived last week too:





After everything was fitted i gave the car a quick was (it STILL needs a full 3 stage paint correction) and headed out for some pics in the sun:



















Next on the list before the fcs;

- 2 new Conti Contact sports
- New side 'Bullets'
- Smaller aeriel
- Full comprehensive detail

Thanks for looking
