SPG Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Nicely done Matt, enjoying the updates and detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Got my anti roll bars on with the new drop links and bushes.. Then I painted the hub and edge part of my new discs to stop them rusting as the are on show through the alloys.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Next I got the discs,callipers,pads,braided lines fitted and bled the system all went well. I decided this time to try some new wheel nuts but I was not impressed with how soft the Aluminium ones were I assume they are chinese fakes so I opted for some Cold Forged Steel TPI nuts instead. It was at this point as I am sad I decided the centre caps needed to be Gold Decepticons so I peeled the old Bola stickers off and replaced them.. and thats the brakes and wheel mods done ready for summer still so much left to do on the rest of the car though to be ready.

MattP Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Finally got the interior together (Whole new unmarked dash unit as mine had small holes in it) and cleaned today its hard to get good pictures but it looks excellent.. I had the following carbon dipped: *All Facelift Dash Panels *Both Door Cups *Both Electric Window Switch Surrounds *Both Inner Door Cups *Front Dash Vent (you can see it through the windscreen from the outside it runs the length of the dash) *Both Dash Vent Surrounds around the Passenger Airbag *Glovebox Lock Surround *Ashtray lid *Centre Console Handle Surround *The Driver Side Vent Just Above To The Right Of The Dash Cluster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattP Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Fitted the new SRD Undertray today it required slight trimming around the tray but was fairly simple, Lee did advise it may need trimming due to me retaining a Smic setup. Looks 100% better than the stock plastic unit and is very sturdy very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
