Kazgti Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Today I've taken arch liners out of front wings, the rubber strips from the rear arches - jet washed the car thoroughly, took the liners did them too and drenched myself Got the front grill off and in process of meshing it. I bought a waste paper bin from The Range @ £3.99 and destroyed it for the mesh, sprayed it black after cutting it to size and the surround in gunmetal to match inside of lights and wheels. Put a few layers of lacquer on headlights as they were not great. Osram Nightbreaker bulbs and LED sidelight bulbs to go in. Then followed by couple of bottles of Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazgti Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Grill finished, grand total £3.99 plus some paint I already had Hardest part was hacksawing the plastic grill, mesh was easy enough with scissors and dog nail clippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerofdreams Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Nicely done and bargain too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Grill looks sweet Karen, nice job! That's gonna really change the look of the front, looking forward to seeing it fitted. RE the rear arch rubbers, I'd put them back on. Contrerary to urban myths, they do actually save the rear arch lips from stone damage etc, and as long as kept clean will really preserve the arches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Forgot to say...............the Osram Night breakers make an amazing difference! Love these bulbs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazgti Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thanks Dave. I kept them so can clean them up and put back. Bought new dremel like toy today and had another go at the grill. I then spent over 2 hrs taking front bumper, metal thing and headlights out. Got new bulbs in and led sidelights. Bumper looks bit straighter but bonnet still doesn't sit right. Wondering if lowering the catch would help. The waste paper bin provided enough mesh for two grills so I've kept the remainder. I love a bargain Think a lip/splitter in gunmetal is next on list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazgti Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thought I'd upload these shots too just to prove I can park straight @UnicyclingTom Quite pleased how it sits on the Fox Lionharts I think they look better than the Rotas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerofdreams Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Fricking phone. That meant to say what size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazgti Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Lol love technology They're only 15" but seem to sit wide. Got them via eBay Fox Lionharts £60. Ordered clear side indicators but wrong ones turned up, so exchanging for black crystal as they only had those in stock to fit, think they'll look ok. LED front indicator bulbs on the way, square front no. plate and adjustable bracket. Think I've become teenager again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
