Cheers mate. I did notice its not clean around the top of the strut so will sort that out aswell.

I have considered getting a Lexmaul for a while now but I'll be concentrating on cleaning the car up first. An inlet is definately on the cards though, but i wont be going mad with the engine.

Couple of updates rolled into one. Bought a rear bolt in strut brace and got that fitted, cant comment on if it has done anything but it looks nice.


I also have the bits of carpet trimmed around them but no pics

Got my kit back resprayed by Graeme(from CS) at T.A.Bs enterprises. Spent a couple of hours refitting that and decided to put my wheels on aswell. Only a few of pictures because the rest of the car is dirty.




Will get some better pictures once the boot is resprayed

Looks bloody amazing.

One question regrarding your rear strut-brace...

How did you bolt it to the suspension turret? did the bolt come out under the arch and you just bolted it together?

Thanks for the comments
monster:
basically its a bastard to fit, you have to force it up to the bottom of the boot plastics. Check that both ends are the same distance from the boot floor, drill holes through the turrets and then bolt it through. To answer your question though, yeh they are nut and bolts, the bolts come through under the arch.

Cheers mate, Still got a couple more bits to sort out - vinyl on the lower grill, sort something out for the grill, put the arch liners back in and smooth over the rear wiper hole.
