Hey Dan, thanks for the kind comments, Its an excellent all round car however its not perfect imo. However Everytime I do something I try to make it as good as I can so maybe one day it may be up there with the best of them. How thick is your wiper plate?? Mine is pretty thick (approx 4mm) I think so hopefully should be up to the job. :)Quote:

Little update then guys, Ive recently dropped a few parts with a few different guys to be modified slightly...... Fearless brace is getting countersunk around the holes so I can use it on standard topmounts, My fifth allesio has been dropped off to have toyo t1r 40 attached to it and also A friend of mine with a selection of holesaws is cutting me a circular piece from a sheet of carbon to be used for blanking the sender unit hole. So whilst Im waiting for them bits to return Ive been cracking on with the stubby mirrors and building up the back of the car etc. In short the stubby mirrors are a pain!! Due to how they are made Ive never wanted to force dry (bake) them so its been air dry all the way which is a burden when you want to get things done! Anyhow after rubbing down the primer on them I noticed there was still a few imperfections so I opted to reprime them to be on the safe side......

Repriming them at this stage should not only help stop movement in the primer but allow me to really block the edges to achieve good lines and shape etc. Once rubbed down I got them cleaned off and ready for paint, Ive kept thinking about which way round to do things.... Red first,black first etc?? But I decided to opt for the red as I think this will be the easier option and I thought if I paint the whole mirrors in red to begin with at least if Id missed any imperfections on the frames Id have more build to rub at before I put the black on if you get were Im coming from? Anyhow after work this eves I got red on, looking good........

Although they've taken a fair bit of work Im really happy with how there coming on. All being well in a few days time I'll tape them off a apply the matt black to the frame parts of the mirrors for the standard look etc. On another note though a quick shot of the back of the car now back together just awaiting the fifth allesio in the wheel well which I should be collecting tommorow.......
