Got a few more things done to the car  8)

Got my Elite Wheels refurbed and new tyres onto them, Replica Irmy Grille and fitted 20mm Spacers on the back to widen the track a little to help the handling.  Contemplating lowering it, but I'm afraid of ruining the comfort and the roads over here are brutal, so we'll see what happens...  Here are a few new pics from today after a bit of a clean:













All comments welcome...

Not jealous at all  :'( But why when seeing absolutely stunning cars like this, do I start looking at the 'for sale section'  ::)

Sweet wagon there!

Did you change the headlights?? They have a black backing that I do not recall as being 'standard'!

Also, Steinmetz (Eibach) springs and Billie B8's do me fine round the escuse of roads in South Wales - it just makes it feel more 'modern' and much more controlled (that combined with some poly bushes  ;))

Yeah, I split the lights and painted the surrounds when I got it, think it helps the front a lot...

Thanks for the advice on the Springs & Shocks too  :y

Just take them out and either leave them overnight in a hot press or near a radiator, or just simply use a heat-gun or hairdryer to heat the glue and then run a stanley knife around the edge to break the seal and then gently prise the lense off.  I only painted the removable surround, which is dead handy to remove.  I simply rubbed them down with a scourer and then gave them 2 coats of etch primer and then 3 coats of Elite Satin Black (best black paint imo) and then used windscreen bond to stick them again.  2-3hrs tops to complete it and just be sure to have the heat going when your priming and painting them and they'll be dry in no time at all. 

I think it helps the front a lot makes them a lot more menacing aswell...
