No problem with the manual bud, yes thats what the grill will look like and how i want it too look
spot on
Hopefully it will be here for Friday so i can get it fitted and cleaned on Sat, and if i finish work early enough meet some of the Rotherham lot for some photos

This weekends jobs, fit spoiler again, new grill and side repeaters. Fit other bucket and give car a good clean!!!

Upon returning from work today i had a few little upgrades for the car. Thanks to 'Tipsy'

MJ05LLY · 25th September 2010, 14:10

I managed to go out and fit them during the half time of football.

Thats about all i can be bothered to do this weekend, but hopefully Monday my new dab ariel will be here for the car which will replace the original car ariel

Cheers pal, yes been cracking on with bits while the money is ok at the minute. Got nothing to do tomorrow now so may get round to refitting spoiler and fitting passenger bucket seat

Todays mini update, finished early today in excitement for my new DAB ariel for my car which i wanted to fit straight away to get some good reception for my HU

But it was a big FAIL on my part!

The one i have ordered is for a car that has it mounted towards the rear of the roof not front, as the angle is too steep and the curve are the front of the roof wont mount flush with its fittings!

So ive ordered another one now which is a window mount one, which am hoping will still be as good!!!

Silly boy

Cheers bud, yes an epic fail on my behalf. Hopefully glass one will be here today! fingers crossed

ldavies · 29th September 2010, 11:24

Get some pictures up mate if you manage to get it today / fitted.

MJ05LLY · 29th September 2010, 19:19

Today i received yet another DAB ariel for my HU, this time its a glass mounted one. Not my preferred choice but needs must!

I thought it would be bigger and more bulky than it is, so i am kinda happy that its like this. I wired it up and hey presto DAB in the car, lots of crystal clear radio channels.
I have not managed a pic of the aerial mounted but ill get some at the weekend to show its not bad at all. Will get used to it after a few days!

MJ05LLY · 29th September 2010, 19:23

Today i also got some more little tidy up items for the car. I think am going to start on the engine bay to get that nice and tidy with the rest of the car.

Out with the old rusty ecu and battery trays, and some nice painted items to perk up the bay. Thanks to FisherVTS for the items, received all good bud, just gonna give them a quick clean and maybe another spray again

This weekend am picking up a E-Tech strut brace for the car, which am going to get painted, am just unsure which colour at the moment. But i doubt i will get round to fitting that or the trays this weekend as ive still only fitted one bucket and the headunit still needs fully wiring in, and prob wont get around to that either as im working all weekend. Just non stop!!!

Any ideas on what colour to have the brace painted?

ldavies · 29th September 2010, 19:31

How about doing it white mate.
Seen a few black saxos on here with white under the hood and it looks really well, its what im going to do eventually,lol.

Am considering this bud, but id have to have some more white coloured bits in the bay im thinking

ldavies · 30th September 2010, 14:37

could always spray the ecu cover, fuse box cover and the strut brace all white and that will look really good mate.

It could work but am not too fussed on having white in the engine bay, too much like hard work to keep clean

MJ05LLY · 2nd October 2010, 12:31

Right guys would love some ideas on a colour theme for the bay, ive jp4 engine covers, i just havnt put the coil pack cover on yet, but i was thinking i could have this sprayed to the colour theme of the bay along with the strut brace, any themes welcome or even better pics?

Juggyluggs · 3rd October 2010, 14:57
