True whore. Taking pics of 'smaller cables ties' and 'air bubbles' ... Hehe. 
I think you'd prefer the car without the PAS. I've driven mine with PAS on track, and also witthout, and the latter setup gives you so much more feedback. Definitely something to consider...

Just to add, the PAS clutters up the pornographic masterpeice of an engine bay.
I'd dip my nuts in the filler cap hole all day long..

thanks again boys - you're too kind!  Well I fancy getting electronic PAS as that's adjustable in terms of how much input you get, and also the standard PAS drains loads of power and can affect the fuel pump and all sorts of shit. Not good! until I have spare cash though it's gotta go on the back burner

Few more updates today. Obviously I don't have lots of spare cash at the moment so i've been doing all the small jobs i've been meaning to do for a while. Mainly removing the rest of the unwanted/un-sightly studs and brackets in the engine bay. Especially the bonnet prop one - god knows why they fit these on a 106 as you have gas struts so it's not needed....still!
I also bolted my battery bracket in properly as I took it out to get it powder coated black, but it was so fiddly to bolt in again i've only just gotten aroun to doing it! Pleased with the results though so far - just needs a lick of paint on the strut top and the bay is almost done. I still have a few hose retainers to swap over, and I would like a black oil cooler instead but that's on the long finger now I have no dosh!
Here are some pics anyway:
Area masked off for stud grinding with the dremmel (SUCH a great tool):
Gone:
The 'obnoxious' bonnet prop bracket (looks so messy) - it was an arse to remove to in such a confined space:
Getting there:
Gone:
Then I noticed another one at the back annoying me!
I don't have a pic of it removed but it's gone now! I also touched up the areas I ground down too of course. I'll get some pics today.
Here's the battery holder - looks much nicer in black!
That's it for now.
Lewis

Absolutly stunning work, the attention to detail is second to none. This has to be one of the best 106s around. In answer to your comment on my thread, my rear beam is getting ajusted to 50mm tomorrow to match the front (mishap when i ordered it lol)

No need for fuses after Bob' been at it!
Toad - you NEED a dremel in your life dude!
Few more updates today - touched up those areas where I ground off the studs, and fitted my new black gear knob. It does look a lot better in the blue cabin I will say. My white one will be for sale too now if anyone's interested 
Touched up areas:
New Gearknob:
She's getting there now!

Looking in your first pic there, I see you've replaced the engine mount bolts with torx ones. The two bolts I've got there are horrid and rusty. Are they M8's? Do you know how long?

Few more updates tonight. I actually did a lot of small jobs tonight but alas I forgot my camera again, and my phone was low on battery and it would only take a few snaps!
Basically I fitted all my new silver hose clamps from Earls, fitted a new piece of carbon over the rear seat belt bracket area as Bob removing every single piece of wiring so had to get a new peice of carbon without a hole in for wiring! I also fitted the new black quickshift. Looks pretty nice I think. I will put some pics of it fitted up in a few days. I also had some carbon off Streamline (Bic) for the speaker holes so I will fit that over the weekend. Really pleased with how she's shaping up now!
Here are the pics of the quickshift anyway (again turd phone pics). The finish is pretty damn smooth, although the paint isn't hugely robust despite the fact it's meant to be chip proof etc...never mind. If it starts to flake i'll polish it again!
More pics soon!
Lewis
