retroed Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Ideal. I have a fresh tube of sealant loaded and ready to apply as required. My mud guards turned up this morning. They aren't in the greatest of condition, but are better than not having any at all. I'm not sure if my car has ever had guards in the past, as the rear bumper doesn't have any holes tapped where they would fit. Naturally, one of the screws on the N/S/F is seized and won't undo, turning a quick an easy job into one that takes a bit longer. Always the way!

retroed Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Just over nine hours and I'll have my new wheels! My springs dispatched today as well, so the car will hopefully be sitting a little lower next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroed Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 The wheels are on the car now but I might wait until she's dropped before I put more pics on here. Today I sprayed my headlight innards and grill surround satin black. I'm really happy with the result! I still need to fit the headlights back on the car, though. Lights were a proper arse to remove, I don't remember having this much trouble on my MB6! Hopefully the result will be worth it when they're back on the car.

retroed Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 VTi front lip arrived today, in Pirates Black. I had a can of Atlantic Blue mixed up in Halfords yesterday. If I get time tomorrow I might sand down and prime, ready to paint in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesyMB6 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I think the lip goes well with the rest of the black bits at the front of your car. Love the wheels its nice that you have been a bit different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
