I'm off tomorrow so if the weather's right I'll get some pictures.

Messed around too much today so no time.

Re: Alx's Blue GP

You dropping your gp fully? Same coils as I'm picking up tomorrow you decided on a colour theme on yours yet?

Yeah, it's currently sat reverse rake due to me not putting in rear adjusters.
Front's still got helpers and full sized bump stops. Need to get wheels sorted asap really.

Colour scheme wise, none as of yet.

So after a week of my wind deflectors arriving, I took them out of the packaging yesterday to try fit, and they're completely wrong,! Emailed the seller etc waiting for him to get back in touch. (you will see how much bad luck I have when it comes to Online orders etc throughout this progression thread)

Went to Venom Motorsport today and bought another FK de-badged grille in all black (fitted) instead of the black/chrome FK one.

Selling my black and chrome one £35 posted, still in all the packaging. Easy to spray or wrap if you're good at fiddly bits. If any one is interested PM or post here. If it doesn't get bought it shall just go straight back to FK.

Vinyl ordered along with chrome indicator bulbs, do those when they arrive and put pressed plates.
Yet to try my HIDs, possibly spray my rear lights if I get chance.

Lacking on the picture front, think that's it update wise.....

Rear without fronts done - no adjusters Sjb1975 RyanBox
It sits lower but my phone died shortly after so no pics while doing fronts.

I'll get some pictures tomorrow

Thanks. Its not sat correctly yet as the fronts slightly higher than the back, Maybe put the adjusters in the rear sometime this weekend.
What's your next update?

When you start it up?

Yeah I think I'm going to go Blue/Grey theme with the interior parts.
Wind deflectors are on pause due to the fool on eBay who can't send correct parts out.

-dewiper
-debadge
-vinyl
-plates & LED plate lights
-Top rear lights tinted

Hopefully get these done this week.

De-badged and put my chrome indicator bulbs in.
Just about to undo my wiper nut and it began to pour down so that's on hold yet again.

I couldn't wait that long so I went to Venom and bought one.
Sold my chrome one today to parrot93 and then headed down to the north west stages.

Weather looks **** over the next couple of days

Update:
De-wipered Monday, just stuck a rubber grommet in for now until I get round to putting my glass one in with silicone. Yet to vinyl and put plates on etc just little bits I need to do but the weather isn't letting me.

Ordered some alcantara samples to give me an idea of the grey I want for the interior parts.
Wheels and tyres are being purchased very soon unless another set of alloys change my mind.

Also bought a touch-up stick from fiat - £12

I'll flood this thread with pictures when I take some!

Vinyl behind plates and put plates on tonight

Ordering wheels in the morning from Stanced UK nice and early, I'm thinking of getting flush fitting valves also but not to sure on that as of yet. If they arrive quickly I should have tyres fitted a day later or shortly after.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a dry day so I'll get pictures tomorrow! Lacking so much on pictures. (I've got a **** phone camera + battery)
