I've got one in the garage but as said the wind blew it over and scratched it

I could put it on but would be a waste of time cos it's gonna get repaired soon if Jamie (works at morrisons with me and dan) pulls his finger out of his arse.

He said he's finished them, although is a bit frustrating when he was doing my stuff but ends up doing other peoples work. :\

If i was him i'd be jumping at the chance to earn loads of cash off people for doing stuff.

Got the bumper, arches and skirts to paint, gear linkage to swap, track rod end to fit which could all be done in a week if he really tried.

Don't want to moan because the jobs really good when he does it

Cheers Bri
Got to do the other 3 yet, hopefully learn from the mistakes i made from the first one.

Update time:

Finally getting somewhere, skirt and arches are done and fitted, rear bumper is on but still gotta clip arch back in and put fog and bumpstrips in. Need to clean exhaust up also before trax as its covered in melted bumper plastic
Also need to paint rear calipers silver and stick the other 2 Turini's on, can't atm cos a mate tightened them too much

Yeah Scott they were, but the job was shit, they were never sanded down and they started to peel

Thanks Nathan, yeah got the Sunday off so i'll be there.

Cheers Bri

Like I said, gotta do a few bits before trax.
Should have a new mod aswell (if it gets here in time ) which will finish the front off nicely

Like how it's looking now anyway so it's gonna stay largely as it is. Just gonna sort the little niggly bits out that im not happy with.

Want a full respray tbh cos the little tiny dents and scratches really bug me haha.

Wanted comp mo5's to start with but they never came up on ebay and if they did they'd be a shocking offset or too wide
