Beaniemoo combined all the fuse boxes into 1 nice tidy fuse box modified to fit into the standard fuse box bracket, and still has good access too

OK update time;
Mango once again parked up over the winter...
I was extremely pleased with the SPA digital dash, however while it was custom reprogrammed for me they had messed up and it wasnt saving some settings, for example it wasnt saving the fact I wasnt using pressure 2, or the circumference of my tyre, rev limiter LED colour change etc etc
So thats been recently removed and sent back to SPA, along with the speedo sensor which also gave up the ghost after less than 500 miles. tut tut!
Next up was the fix the SHOCKING state that the carbon roof had got itself into this summer....
Im sure this shouldnt happen after a few years & being dry stored over winter... but anyway it needed fixing regardless. So the car went straight down to Bic and I paid to have the roof re-lacquered, and the spoiler too. They did a great job so I was pleased
And the spoiler too...
Next up is to begin the BE conversion
2 BE boxes;
BE shafts ready to be chopped up to get the correct length...
Next updates for the mango will come around Christmas time when im next back in the UK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a side note the famous XR racecar still has chalk on it from the 2012 Ring trip, over a year ago now lol
Ring toaster getting some use 'down-under'
And I have my tickets for the v8supercars in Bathurst in a few weeks time + 3 day stand passes for the Sydney 500 at the start of december

Good update Josh, as ever, roof and spoiler look spot on, and the S1 looks just, well, superb! Haha
Looking forward to seeing the progress with the box conversion!

Haha @ the S1, loved driving the S1 when I was in the UK.... thrash it through the country lanes every day... But no point in insuring it at the moment with me only back for 6 weeks a year in the UK & I have access to the 200k+ Dirty diesel 106 when I'm back. But also no point in selling it as it's worth bugger all lol
Yes your right roof + spoiler is an awesome job from the looks of it (I haven't seen it in person yet lol). BE conversion will help get my confidence back in the car, stupid MA cheese boxes always breaking!
