No not yet mate, after the new alloys pretty much left me broke for this month, managed to scrape the bank for the caliper paint, nothing now until next month when the team heko wind deflectors get ordered and obviously the carbon wrap ;) not much else in the pipe lines tbh just got to try and make it run a bit smoother, horrible metallic noise coming from the alternator which is worrying so that needs seeing to asap, cant really think of much else

Mine needs a full service I think.. Just to get everything tightened and looked at. I want to order a k&n panel filter, badgless grill and a back box for a bit of a growl ;)

Very nice mate, mine needs a new back box, noticed the other week there a bit of cracking in it, May just have to go all out and put a nicer sporting box on, I got the fk badgless grill but I don't like the chrome on it so I'm going to have to get the black one, I'm swaying for a k&n induction kit sometime this year, still not sure though!

Why not just spray it black? Cheaper :p

Did that to the last one and it chips away really badly :( and yeah I'd love to do that but obviously I can't because my car is black!
 
Yours is a bonus then it'll blend in and look like one big grill

But if I wrap behind my number plate in black you won't see it, it will be pointless

Mate how did you go about doing the steering wheel bits?! I love getting my hands dirty when it comes to my car so I'm more of a take it apart, solve the putting it back together problem later kind of person... Did you just wrap them without removing anything or??

The steering wheel bits and pretty much everything else I just laid a piece of the wrap bigger that the area over it and heated with a hair dryer. It will start to form itself around every little detail. Then you can use your fingers to smooth it and your nail to make an indent so you have a perfect line to cut. Pretty simple after you get into a rhythm

Yeah I did parts of my dash and my key... The heat made it work a treat! The bit you've wrapped red on your dash, I wanna wrap carbon black and do the fascia plates carbon red! Might even do it today and see how it goes! (The red fascia plates) I just wanted to know if you took it off! I am thinking of debadging the boot lid or just replacing it with an abarth badge can't decide yet!

When I did my wrap I took nothing off just used a lot of heat to mould it around everything. Spend time heating and smoothing with your fingers to get the best result.
Erm I'd say just change the badge at the back, don't attempt to de-badge because you will have to fill the dent left and then paint it and that's just a big job. I'd say de-badge the front grill though.

QUESTION: I've had this tube hanging down with wires in it since I bought the car. The car doesn't have any warning lights it problems so I have no idea what it could be.. Any ideas?
