NIKH25 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Search ebay for 'Honda fender washers' there's a company called super GT supply packs of 5 fender washers and bolts in various colours for £5 3 packs will do both wings and all the bolts along the slam panel, headlights, ac rad etc., etc. Quite a bit cheaper than the skunk2 ones.

casasteve Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Right, well ordered some GT bolts as above. I've gone with simple black. It's not a flashy car, and I intend to go with muted colours where ever I can (maybe the odd highlight). I figure there's no point putting bright red lipstick on a pig My new centre console arrived and I like it. The gear gator and surround has fag burns all over, but the rest is in great condition. I'm not too worried about the gator, I'll just re-use my own for now. I need to find two additional screws as this has two extra vs mine. Are these easy to get hold of? I guess a trip to B&Q or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Two extra screws for the gaitor? Try the two from your original first to see if they'll fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casasteve Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'll try tonight. Already got my eye on matching MG heater trim/dash trim... Hmn... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casasteve Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Black and silver works nicely. My thoughts exactly I just ordered some mist washer jets and keeping an eye on matching MG ZS trim parts in a nice silver/grey colour. I'll be getting rid of the wood grain asap Then, I'd like to do something about the rear wiper... Are there any known mods to make the thing work better? I find it's a bit poor. Maybe a slightly longer wiper blade? I plan to replace it with a flat/aero blade. I wondered if there are any arm replacements from other cars that work with the MB? Wishful thinking maybe.

Krzys Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Don't think anyone has done anything with the arm? Aero wiper seems to be the way forward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casasteve Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 So today's task is finding some new front tyres. I have a slow puncture on the passenger side and it's annoying me. I was going to try and buy new wheels, but I think I just need to concentrate on other things (like cam belt change!). Looking for 185/60 R14 82H, these are my main options: I'm thinking the Yoko's, but not just because they're cheapest They seem to get good reviews. Any other recommendations? Also, I cleaned up my new centre console/arm rest last night. Looking forward to fitting that, but waiting for a replacement passenger side seatbelt clasp to arrive in the next day or two. Also booked into the Ramp and Wrench place tomorrow night to finally do the brake discs/pads/bleed, oil change, transmission fluid change and anything else that I can think of while I'm there.

I might try a slightly longer one, see what happens lol. I think I have a 15" blade right now, may try 16". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
