Haha someone on fb page was selling a kit off a aerodeck so had the skirts as I'm going to just stick with standard vti front splitter,my clock is right time lol Decided I'm going to get rear windows tinted and I've got the best excuse to get it done,told the mrs that the sun earlier was blinding our 2yr old son sat in back and her answer.....yeah fine now if I'd of just asked guarantee the answer would of been no lol

And here's the arm kit i might have to wait till next month for these though lol

Well s**te weather has struck again so i have'nt sprayed my brackets yet so being stuck inside means ebay trawling, which leads to money being spent lol n here is the result

The one wheeled guy tom gave some great advice which was to put paint on the mounting screws and place where your going to mount it, then drill, think that's right.... Key to doing anything like this is patience.... and chocolate, I would recommend a double decker for this job....

i concur with this and since you won't be needing it... Nudge, nudge, wink, wink......

Haha just chucked the cigarette lighter in there for the pic 99% the time got my phone charger in there damn iPhone battery don't last to long. Another little update I managed to finally get a set of vtis side skirts £50 posted I'm happy with that might make car look better that there is a lip on front and rear but nothing on the side

Thanks everyone for your comments and sorry for being lazy updating you all. So the exhaust was fitted on Thursday. I was recommended by 3 people to go to this guy and I am so glad I did. Top quality work he has done and when he started the car after fitting it I was like Yesssssss that's exactly the sound I wanted not too loud but just a deep sporty sound. So here we go with the pics The stock backbox I got this one not so long ago so it still looks in good condition. So the exhaust is off. Underneath my car doesn't look too bad. No signs of rust at all. And my wrapping on the manifold is holding well. Pleased about that So he cut the flange from my old centre pipe and then the EK mid pipe was a bit short so he welded that piece to make it fit perfectly So the centre pipe sorted. Now onto the backbox. He cut the pipe of from the backbox and fitted it on to the centre pipe. Then placed to backbox so it sat nicely in the rear lip and then welded the pipe between them. Also welded the hooks in place. Finally all done

Thinking of getting my MB3 remapped now that it has the induction and exhaust system, but I dont see many people talking about remapping on here, and wonder, is there a reason? So I thought before bothering the guys at Promap, has anybody done theirs? Would I see much gains at all?

^^ I was just about to say that... haha Gun metal using plasti-dip I guess?

Good man, I used that trick on my lancer too. She knows better for the M though. But she won't grumble. While she's gagged and tied down anyway.

Dose anyone know if you can get such a thing as uprated trailing arms if not ill just plasti coat the oem 1's me too im a big sucker for shiny bits plus being able to set up the camber properly will be gr8

That looks fantastic mate, really good job he's done there. Looking forward to the video but I can't believe you had this fitted Thursday and are only posting today. Shocking behaviour.

Another couple of jobs out the way, peace of mind for a while, insurance is a PITA, I sorted mine yesterday, got a good deal from Adrian flux though £10 more than my renewal quote but with all mods declared and including better breakdown cover than I have and saving the £45 for that. Wheels look absolutely mint, seems a shame to take that paint off and respray but black is not right.

x2, were you there, I'm not jealous at all if you were, honest.

Quick up date window tint arrived only got one back window done so far and my bonnet raiser's are fitted here's a couple of pics This is my first time tinting windows

Most definitely do not. Ermmmmmmm

Came up on my Instagram feed

Carefully being the operative word

They have discounts online at the moment too so go get some bits. Promo code is CGUK for 15%. Up until midnight Sunday

Top work mate. One point though, your cogarette lighters upside down

Standards are 15" and these are 16" so need new ones! I think red ones would suit the gunmetal/anthracite colour I want them to end up! Would need the regular type rather than tapered nut but that detail can be addressed later, can't afford to do anything else with them this month but they will eventually become the 'winter' wheels! Have another set to buy yet as the 'show' rims!

I will post the video soon. .sounds great not too loud and still a deep sporty sound

Thnx bro ermm i might go for atr spoiler now but ive seen other build thread and im afraid of drilling

Awww Succotash Well, it's good your learning mate..... Looking forward to your next Mod

My trying to pinch business away, but if you don't mind traveling, there is a place just up the road from me, performance Autoworks, they're very very good in almost all aspects.

Please post a video of what it sounds like as I so badly want an exhaust these days but don't know which one.

Liking this, taken days to read through it all, quick question, you said 3 people had recommended your zorst guy? Who is the guy, Whats his location? how much does he charge? I ask this but if its, you know, a bit nosey of me feel free to tell me to do one, is he in the Midlands? trying to find a non rip off regular garage that knows what they are taking about, I called a guy a week ago about my brakes and he was adamant I had drums on the back and told me I was wrong when I said it was disks....

Nice one on the fogs chap, need a daytime shot though so we can see how the yellow looks. There's a how to on meshing a grill or have a go at wrapping or painting it yourself, most of of us have done our own one way or another and we're certainly not all geniuses. If you get a spare one from a breaker you can take your time with it and get it how you want it.

Congrats Hubert. .one awesome looking deck you got. .definitely worthy winner. .this year seems to be the year of decks lol

Congratz to the winner

1999 MB4 approaching 150k mark - highest mileage car ive ever had but drives very well

ha ha, well i can do it for japfest if you want me to mate? a good clay polish and wax works wonders mate

machine posh well i needed something to get me through the weekend

Yeah...... x3

Strong stuff then... I shall prepare for it then! UPDATE! The MG ZS spoiler has been resprayed and fitted! I am over the moon with it. It looks so right!!! As for lowering, I didn't get it done today because I couldn't pick up the springs earlier today. But in the next hour I am picking them up!

Well done mate.... Worthy winner of my mb2 project:( but there's another 10months left this yr.

Glad u got her back Dave, nice collection too

Congrats dude *gritted teeth* Really though It'll look well, and I wouldn't have left them black either if I'd been able to get them. Saying that, I hope your car falls apart on the way there, like a clown car at the circus.

X2

Yes mate, straight swap!

How'd the fitting go?

Imagine the pictures of several decked M's! I tell the boss when she mentions meetings! "I'm off that day..." And a MB category too! Rear coilovers may need raising for the occasion!

Blingage! Looks wells nice! I guess the center pipe is sorted then?

I wouldn't even bother mate. That looks really good and you'll never see those little spots once fitted

To be honest when that badboy is fitted you prob won't even be able to see those rust spots unless you get on your knees and study it closely.. Looks wicked with the polishing mate looking forward to seeing it on and most importantly THE VIDEO TO FOLLOW...

Looking good mate looks nice and shiny and i wouldnt worry to much about that tiny bit pf rust,impressed with the effort you gone to on the car and be nice to see it at japfest

It will but it's like sandpaper in that respect if you start with a coarse wool to remove the rust and then move to a finer grade to take the scratches out. As Stephen said though it depends how deep the rust is, if it goes all the way through the only way to get rid is to cut it out. You could try a coarse paper or a grinder to take the worst off.

Love giving those shitty little frenchies a run. They hate being overtaken by an estate
