Well got home last night and cracked on with some jobs for Early Edition.

Unfortunatly for me the previous owner left this mess under the sound deadening, 2 and half hours later and sore thumbs they were all gone..
Before

After


Also picked up a pair of Porsche Oil Cap and coolant caps on sunday, but the oil doesnt fit as i dont have a oil filler neck. So think i may have to file it down to make the radius smaller.


Today i suddenly realised my MOT ran out on monday, but still had half my front Anti Roll bar fitted so set about removing it, which was a right pain.

Took abit of cutting up but came out eventually..

Luckily it flew through a MOT only had advisory for a upper level rear braking light tho got one arriving at TPS in morning and a tyre bead being something.

Also found some foam and made this today, need a better solution but will do for now..


Also cleaned one of the wheels, this was sprayed with shampoo/water mix and wiped down with a micro fibre, thats it.
The Carbon Collective Platinum Wheels i sealed them with really does work well...


Also a few random shots ive found from UD


Excuse the lack of fitment this is my high side  :ashamed:


Hopefully have a black filler cap turn up from AKS soon and a wiper delete from germany to do.

Also going to start looking at hard piping my install.

Nice photo man!  :happy2:

Well picked up parts from TPS today, daunting taking a drill to the light lense but really easy job took me 15 minutes and now all working  :smiley:

Also fitted my new battery cover as tabs of mine had broken.

Just unsure what to do with regards to my porsche oil cap think i may have a go at filing it down so it fits.

Was this for the quad lights? Which way did you drill the insides to hold the ring in place? Chrome side outwards or from the back of the light into the chrome?

+1

Bit late but thought i'd already commented saying this looked MEGA at UD! Got papped by plenty of people too from what i've seen trawling through galleries!

The twist splits 17"'s?

I've got my V2 controller fabricated in like so....



Works pretty well

 :happy2: as always keep up the good stuff!

Well I had Friday off to go get quotes for paint and notch but the MOT situation screwed that up.

The twists are 18"

Ah that's perfect just what I want is that just a panel covered or a block?

Really need to look into it more and get something bit nicer.

Hopefully my wiper delete turns up this week and my wiper isn't too hard to remove!

My wiper had seized itself on. Battled with it for about 45mins before I got the hacksaw out!  :signLOL:

I find there is a bit of a trick to getting the wipers off.

It's like a pivot motion just using your right hand.

It's hard to explain. :ashamed:

You have to push and pull at the same time.

I'll explain further if needed  :happy2:
