Front looks amazing.

 

What did you spray the bump strip with? as surely if you just use normal spray paint it will crack when you pull the strip off to get at the bumper bolts

just painted it with plastic filler primer, then halfords rattle can, then wheel laquer (lots). Its possible that it will crack if i have to remove the bumper again but hopefully i wont need to and it was fine when i was wobbling it around puting it back on the car.

yea its quite an easy job to be fair, first (rushed) attempt didnt go so well, but second attempt i am happy with. I just followed a guide on here (bowders i think)

I am going to give it a go, I need to get a FMIC as well [emoji106]

Ive got a modified crash bar going spare if u do the fmic. Dont want anything for it its been in my garden collecting dust

well after the mot revealed the need for a new turbo, ive decided to keep it for a while and throw a load more money at it.

so, new 'parts required' list is as follows:

k03s in good condition

cat back exhaust

arbs

black s3 interior

black door cards

decent sound system.

 

car is booked in next thursday for the turbo to be fitted and the trailing arm bushes to be replaced, just need to find a good turbo before then

 

Going to refurb the wheels, and going to paint the faces, but undecided on the colour, anyone good on photoshop??

How did the MOT show up a new turbo been needed?

blue smoke under acceleration, then on further investigation there was quite a bit of oil in the intercooler pipes

Have i just seen this on ebay? :(

yes it went on ebay, only made £1800! turned down 2 offers of £2250 last month lol. nevermind,the guy who bought it was a ****tard and didnt make any contact anyway so its going back on with some better pictures and a fresh valet. still in 2 minds whether or not to keep it but ive just bought a t4  as my new project so really this one needs to go :( might return it to standard and sell all the mods, probably the best way to recoup money

new turbo is on, door cards are off ready to be painted.............................

If anyone knows the whereabouts of this car I'd be very interested in buying it back

STILL GOT COIL PACK COVER?
