Elite Veteran Posts: 749 Location: waiting to get the car back from edge-performance | fog light and reverse light L.E.D installed also bumper de-chromed and iv'e also removed the rear wash/wipe.  the mold's didn't take for the rear lights so will have them installed next week, twin element L.E.D going in should look good. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 749 Location: waiting to get the car back from edge-performance | i had reservations myself about the mirrors, i thought "christ they look big" but when i put them up against the car, they only stuck out a smidgen more than the orriginals, they are just more prominent!  | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 749 Location: waiting to get the car back from edge-performance | right, once the rear lights/wiper washers and the inside of the new mirrors are finished next week i want to finish some of the interior. some of the early pictures show the tempory speaker and door card covers iv'e got to get these done as it spoils the whole car. im thinking of blue black leather to match the new bucket seats and steering wheel. iv'e still got to get a further brake upgrade and a remap. were also working on a poss supercharger upgrade for later in the summer | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 749 Location: waiting to get the car back from edge-performance | back at work at the moment, have had trouble with the new rear light molds, should at last be painted this week and on car next monday /tuesday when im off next! then fit the L.E.Ds to match the fog and rverse in the bumper. also trying to get the interior recovered so in and out looks neat before hopefully going to the wales meet. then thru the summer going to be concentrating on making it go faster and stop quicker. def serious about trying to get the supercharger on. also seeing if i can afford to get a set of wheels made, black spokes/polished rims. when all this is done i might start trying to pay some of the mortgage off | ||
