Where did you get the badges from and how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking? Could do with a new set myself.

Changed fuel filter today as I'd been avoiding doing it for months. Read on here the clips can break so it put me off for a while. All went ok so quietly pleased with myself.

If they are around the body of the filter it's pretty normal. It's held on from factory with a jubilee clip which corrodes. I fixed my new one on with cable ties.

Did you tint the windows yourself? If so how did you get the rear door windows out as I can't fathom it out, me and my brother did the tailgate window the other Saturday.

I also fitted wind deflectors earlier this week which I love the look of.

Refitted all standard engine parts air box, boost pipes, DV and removed HID lights.

I changed the cambelt and water pump for the first time since i bought it in september 2009. Also, i changed the cabin air filter which was quite dirty after about 8k miles.

And i changed the looks of the car a bit: i used black plasti dip for the roof of the car, mirrors and for the exhaust tip.

I think it looks good with the anthracite wheels.

Looks tidy mate. Is it normal paint on your bump strips. I was talking to my mate the other day about colour coding mine but he reckons it needs to be a special paint because it needs to bend a bit when removing the bumpers. Id of thought normal paint would of been fine tho.

lol "special paint"

 

No, he's talking crap - key it, prime it (plastic primer), paint it, lacquer it. Bog standard rattle cans from Halfords work perfectly well.

 

As long as you use thin layers, sand back and let it dry properly, it'll be fine.

[PaulMIG]

Yes, nothing special about the paint. I did mine more than 2 years ago and it still looks good.

[P34RC3]

Ok cheers. The side strips come off with a heat gun?

[PaulMIG]

You can just pull off the side strips and then use a heat gun and thinner for the glue left on the car... ooh and a lot of rubbing

That's how i did it, but probably, using a heat gun before, could help..

[P34RC3]

Just started the side strips. My thumb is killing lol

But before I refitted it I got the dremel out and cleaned up the downpipe opening as there was lot's of poor weld bumps and ridges.

 

 

 

 

 

 

weather that has made a difference not sure but i feel better for it.  :evil:

Gotta get me one of these wheels. Wheres best to get one. Can you over do it and burn the paint or is it just a take it slow and it will come off fine?

any paint shop sell them.

 

you just need to take it easy and you will be able to soon tell how hard you need to go. it is quite obvious when you use it.
