New rear washer pipe thingy

Modified the headlights with a 8AWG feed from the battery and a couple of relays (Nice and bright now, but not excessive like HID's are IMHO)

New passenger door lock, replaced under warranty

Brembo front discs and mintex pads

Think that's it :thumbup:

Black pillar trims not available now, dis-continued 2007. Wanted some of these myself, ended up getting milotec carbon ones after seeing them on Bowders VRS, i'll get them fitted one day

:'( :'(

shame, i just sold a set, were on the for sale thread.....obsolete now

either get the milotec ones, or like me make some out of 3m di-noc vinyl :thumbup:

I've done too much to bear thinking about, especially the costs!!!

Hmm, that's a thought.

DO they do it in the same style as the OEM ones? i.e. Not carbon fibre. Looks a bit tacky IMO.

yup am going to do mine in a plain shiny black, its nice stuff to work with.

I bought a set of genuine ones for my estate but haven't fitted them yet. Scared I'll mess it up and they'll look carp.

Too many repairs, only mod yet is LPG conversion. Will be getting the windows tinted, body mopped and polished once the repairs are sorted. After that ill see..

Click on the link in my sig, see the mods to my old Octy vRS add up the cost, and ask yourself one question, Is it worth it?????

Lost track of all the mods and repairs, the things I've bought and never fitted, all I know is it's cost me less money than other cars I've had - but only just.

The mods I've done (e.g. coilovers) have been replacing stuff which was broken or breaking anyway. As Gerry says above, you can spunk away stupid amounts of money on these cars without realising it.

I haven't done much in the last 6 months.

Cleaned TB,

Fitted rear beam poly bushes,

Fitted Cold air intake,

Swapped tyres - front to rear,

Cut engine cover to fit round the Forge diverter valve,

Removed sub and amp,

Fitted iPhone holder and cable to connect it to head unit,

Fitted front ball joints,

Today and or tomorrow I hope to (weather permitting) fit poly bushes to front and rear of front wishbones and replace the dampers.
