Damn it's been delayed by a week
But on the positive side, sending the shop my new indicators to fit and getting them to (hopefully) sort out my centre dash settings and MAKING them fit my EBC red stuff pads

***UPDATE***
(Said in the way like in Rhianna umbrella Cinderella re-mix)
Cars been started on monday just gone! Got some EBC Red Stuff Pads 2go on so she's doing that
Unsure if im going to go ahead with badboy bonnet yet as she's unsure of my terminology!
But my "other little jobbie" is going ahead so with it all so far its the sum of £700
Happiness

A lady-friend i know is a professional body-panaler and sprayer full-time and has a converted garage which is one of those dust-free rooms so she's doing it for me
So she does outside jobs as a part-time thing.
I checked her other work out before hand and it's really quite good

Will be honest , not 100% yet as i needed the car back sharpish to get it ready for it's MOT
So will be getting double sided tape for the num plate lol
But after iv'e done what needs to be done and pass the MOT
1) Install boot pop kit
2) get the number plate installed in lower rear bumper
3) full smooth on boot
4) Adjust front bumper
5) Mesh grills
