    Done a few more easy bits which makes a huge difference to the overall appearance in my opinion! Firstly was the rear diffuser, the grey plastic against the red looked really drab. So took it off, gave everything a clean and painted it satin black! Not the best photo but much...

    -- PSA -- Check your Pollen filter people! Also don't buy a Bosch one, as they are shite. The plastic frame has no give and just snaps :sweat: Febi did the job! Also hit the car's AC with a Odor remover. Hopefully can do a few more jobs over the bank holiday!

    Exactly that, indicator off and bullet slides toward the back of the car. Quick sand to key the plastic and spray painted them Yeah I used Gtechniq C4 for the rest of the plastics, can get some good results! Give the plastics a good clean down first, you also don't need a lot! Might have to...

    Hi all, been noticing a eggy smell coming from the car? Mainly after driving then stopping to park up. Anyone know what it could be? Been seeing suggestions on Google around the pencil coils/fueling issue?

    Been a busy bank holiday weekend, progress has been made! A lot of little tidy up jobs ticked off. First of all, gone are those plate holders and old plates... Fresh pressed plates which I ceramic coated before putting on I think that was a hex head once upon a time...

    Finally an update! I've gotten my car back from Jade Developments after a long list of work, and it now feels mega! Big props to Sean for getting everything sorted. The front end feels so tight and responsive after the refreshed suspension components. Still taking it steady as it does have a...

    Did a few little bits before the car was sent off, New LED reg lights, Black badges, and replaced all the interior lights to white LED's as most where flickering. Also had the fun job of removing the old phone holder, somehow the pad had stuck itself to the windscreen? Or my brother glued it on...

    Finally got around to finishing off the brakes! Also ended up ordering different caliper pins as the new Brembo ones instantly bent! Highly recommend the ones with the retaining pins, so much easier to fit, and no faff to remove down the line! Took the battery off trickle charge, car...
