Haven't updated in a while, my bad! Work is a killer. I have been lurking though!

 

The plans with the Toyo system fell through. There weren't any in stock and then I had some issues with money so I had to cancel.

 

I read some varying reviews of Toyo systems which also put me off.

 

Here's the back end debadged.

Anyway, I managed to pick up a SRS G50 backbox for an EK. I'll need to get a specialist to fit it but it was fairly cheap and pretty awesome ;)

that'll be an ear bleader by the looks of it! :-D8-)

I hope not :)

 

It can have a removable baffle fitted so I might invest in one. Need to get the b****r fitted first.

 

Powerflow is fairly local

Painted the grille surround and badge black.

 

It WAS matte. I gave it a coat of clear lacquer to toughen it up against stone chips and it ended up the shiniest finish I've ever got...

 

Parked at work. I work at an awesome location.

Some more small updates.

 

My new roof aerial from eBay arrived. Perfect fit and is about 2 inches smaller than standard, looks pretty good.

Not tested it yet to see if it actually works ;)

 

I also managed to solve my auto-adjuster headlight issue!

For those who don't know, I bought some tinted headlights about 3 months ago. I fitted them and they looked great, but the beam was all over the place! I discovered the lenses weren't attached to the auto-adjusters.

I imagined to solve it required taking the headlights out and actually disassembling then and re-assembling them in the correct order.

 

Well today I got my old headlights out and checked out the adjusters and lenses. Couldn't see much but I could see where the adjuster went and what it connected to.

Popped the car bonnet, managed to twist the adjuster and it just pulled straight out!

This is it:

And this is where it goes,

I tried for a good 10 mins trying to push it on the lense... with no luck. It just kept popping away!!

Got my finger in there for a good feel and on one side I could feel a small notch. After some more precise fiddling with the adjuster and lense it finally clicked into place!

 

The drivers side required the bumper to be pulled away and the headlight to be removed though. The power steering pump was in the way :)

 

Productive day. That was my only real issue regarding an MOT.
