    Next my rad has been touching the turbo again and looks like its just started to break thru, found getting a new alloy rad is rather pricey. Best quote has been £265 so far, or get another TX rad, but they've been getting ****tier and ****er. So a quick temp fix. A small amount of Qbond was used to make sure of no leaks.

    Dan suggested a small shield to sit in the way and protect the fin. Very nice plan. Quick seard i found a bit of alloy that was gonna be a center cap i never used. Drill a few holes, polish it... Just cause you know. It's me.



    Does the job perfect.

    One of my side skirt pieces is slightly bowed out like yours, I need to refit it but the main reason is the sill rail is slightly bent out at the front and how it was screwed into the sill pulled it down too much.

    great update though, always change and evolution happening with yours mate

    Was surprised to see skirts. Always liked yours without. But you get the itch for a different look occasionally don't you.

    Hhmm interesting. I might need to look at the fitting a little more.

    I like the skirts Benn looks great, dreading fitting mine now though, both rear arches have been replaced and both sills too, I don't fancy my chances of them fitting spot on!
