I've recently realised that I don't spend enough money and time on my car, in the hope that it will give me some motivation I thought I would start a progress thread. It might be slow moving but please just bear with me.
Although the car looks pretty clean there is plenty of cosmetic things that need sorting, door seals replacing etc to bring it back to it's former glory.
As it stands the car is fully standard apart from an Akrapovic exhaust and I don't have many plans outside maintenance but I thought I'd put a list together so I can mark things off as I go.
Plans are as follows -
Alloy Refurbishment
Recaro repair
Paint sorted under rear window (hopefully through warranty)
New front and rear discs - Possily OEM Brembo or Mtec
New front and rear pads - Possibly Brembo or Mintex M1144
Brake fluid change
Gearbox oil change
Ktec induction kit
R27 door and roof decals (Crazy I know, but i'm very tempted to pay the price)
Spare key (Foolishly lost mine at some point)
Steering wheel Refurbishment
Change exhaust tips (not fully happy with the current ones)
I've just ordered some Silvatec indicator bulbs, rear quarter glass seal replacements and a Powerflex upper engine mount torque arm which will hopefully arrive and be fitted this weekend! I still have the brilliant carbon manifold badge and expansion bottle cover from Shuv to fit too.
Thought I'd add a couple of pictures to show how the car stands after a clean last week:
