aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!


The guy who painted my diffuser was delivering it back to the installer and dropped it!!!

No damage, but it has to go back to be resprayed, won't be done until Tuesday!!!


(it was going to be fitted tomorrow and then I was going to Rob Bliss on Monday to get the axle-back done - I have Monday off for this specific reason and can't get another weekday off until the end of March...)


If you don't want to see a grown man cry, turn away now...

:cry:

Mark that looks awesome, i like the carbon fibre!

Today i got a new dome light bulb as my original got flicked into the roof lining…then into the side pillar and down to i have no idea where! when i put the bulb in, it was tricky because it was too fat/big on the two sides, even though it was a 31mm BUT i just had to use more force to stick it in. I'd prob suggest a 28mm for a perfect fit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

i use sports shift mode a lot and didnt like the dinky little shifter in my car so i decided to replace it with something a bit more sturdy, problem was i didnt like any of the ones at supercheap or autobarn so i decided to instead make my own, was essentially a free mod seeing as i had the parts lying around the house and im pretty happy with how it turned out, feels much better now :)

Listened to feedback from my other thread - seems everyone prefers the blacked-out look...

What started it was that I got photos from Exclusive from the day I first got the vinyl done and kinda like the plain look; the chore was a bit 'showy', but I've got like, 15m of the stuff, so I can soon re-do it...

I'm gonna look at getting the side window trims done in chrome and then see at refitting the front...

Too many decisions!
