Its not a badly made exhaust I was going to put it up for sale soon but If your interested just drop me a pm etc. Im sure they will be some pics at the beginning of the thread to show you how the tailpipe did look before? If that helps.
Ok so onto a little update from this eves....
First off most important to start with...

Now were ready to go.....! Flocked sunvisors into place shortly followed by flocked speakers covers.......

Some of you who may be a little beady eyed may have noticed this on the end of the paint stand in previous pics when I painted the wheel centres but did you guess what it was for...?

It was for my new gearknob another carbon product but as above came with a silver finished collar and I thought it would look better black, heres how it looks....

Quick pic of chrome door mechs and screws that made it in the other day...

Thought Id try a centre on for size and see how the colour looks...

Quite happy at that I think!
I actually got some original raceline stickers when I bought the wheels but didnt think blue would go with black not on my car anyhow so I dropped by at the local printers who do a lot of custom decals on the minis for work and got these made up....... black, dark grey and original blue items, I think Im going to go with the black ones atm....

Also added this to continue the carbon cockpit theme...

I also removed these to make way for new items.....

Quick manifold shot whilst no heat shield is on... note new studs,nuts and nice white heatwrap!

Here we go then new carbon items replace the other bling items, Im a little happier now as the carbon has toned the bay down a little I think?? Looking few old reciepts the other day it seemed martin hill had used qed as well as sbd for a few of the smaller items for his engine build at the end of 2002 and I was on there site last week saw the cover and found it too tempting to resist! Note my oil caps just arrived back from the chromers too!

Also on a larger scale.....

Looking minted
I love this car! :)
Love it Nick, I have some wheel bolt covers that I can bring to vboa ifyou want but they wont cover the locking nuts
Bit of a delayed shot this as Its now fitted but here was my new servo rubbed and mounted up ready for paint.. I cut down some sealer nozzles and taped them up to stop any paint getting into the servo, It worked a treat!...

Painted and fitted pics to follow.
This was my attempt at an arty shot ! Good job Im not a photographer! lol

Thats all for this eves folks, Im having the bonnet pin switch moved within the next few days as Its positioned just on the edge of the firewall above the battery at the mo and this means my carbon scuttle trim wont sit flush!
When thats done I can get the new trim in. really pleased with how its coming on now good job really as billings only round the corner! Lastly these are getting collected tommorow so no going back now!

Nick.
Cheers Mark but I'll pass...... Them bolts cost a small fortune! Genuine anodised black Bmw wheel bolts and lockers! When the speedlines came off and the RL7's went on I noticed my awful silver looking nuts so we measured a bmw bolt and it was the same size/taper! Result! :)Quote:
