Yes mate, will be good to have more members turn up

 

Yes, having a few people there certainly made it a more enjoyable day than just turning up on your own.

[Dark_Hero]

Will have to get a bigger briskoda group next time. Could probably get a discount

[@Lee]

I was considering popping along to spectate but I couldn't justify the time etc to SWMBO. I could justify it to myself, but not her :(

[Dark_Hero]

Maybe next time Lee

Had good weather today and I wanted to get a couple of bits sorted so I was up at the crack of noon to get the car looking like this

Thought I'd change the mesh for the widemouth

The new mesh will match the upper grille better when I finally get it back.

Had to remove the old tiger seal which was a job in itself

Then bonded the new mesh

And done

While I was waiting for the tiger seal to dry I got a call from my brother asking if I wanted a new horn. It was on my list of things to do as the standard one is pathetic

And fitted

[Dark_Hero]

To continue the good fortune of today I got my dodgy front fog light sorted and with my brothers help wired in the second fog lamp

And I finally got a pic of my Cree led reverse lights

They aren't as bright as the camera shows. It's a really poor camera on my phone :(

And I've put a deposit down for some new seats for future track days

[gfwc]

All in all, a great day then mate. I love the look of the new mesh. Car looks great!

I bet once you fit those new seats, they won't be coming out haha

Good work Charlie.

How did you go about wiring in the 2nd rear fog light??

Thanks mate I'm hoping to swap them around depending on the occasion, otherwise I'll have to rethink the whole interior lol

Good work Charlie.

How did you go about wiring in the 2nd rear fog light??

Thanks John, I'm not sure on the specifics as my brother did it, but looking at it he clamped a piggyback wire from the existing fog light. The bulb is already there and there is a socket there already for the new wire

Good work Charlie.

Nice work on the grille, Charlie

 

Got a link at all please for those Cree reverse lights?

[DanHam]

I had them seats in my old car Charlie! They are really supportive! Paid £250 for them and sold them for £500 haha.

[Titanium_Man]

Like the new lights, Charlie. Got me thinking again :p

[Southy]

Great work Charlie, very productive day in all, liking the new mesh on the widemouth, different from the norm mesh used, suits it really well though.

[Dark_Hero]

I've just been sent this picture

Can't wait to get it fitted

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Some good updates since I last checked in Charlie, keep it up mate.

[Dark_Hero]

Cheers Joe

Just need to tidy up the honeycomb where I bonded it in place and it will be spot on

[vRS Joe]

Looks absolutely awesome Charlie! Fancy doing another? Mines got a hole in it!
