Evening all,
A bit more mincing done this weekend in readiness for going on the road for the first of February ......
Got the new spoiler and lower skirt picked up Friday ......

So it was on with the new spoiler with the aid of some sikaflex .....

And some overnight clamping with the sikaflex sorted the lower spoiler too ...

It was out with the old (which actually took ages because of the flexible seating mechanism on the back seats - there are 12 T40 torx bolts that hold the back seats in) .....

Also took a while because a couple of the bolts rounded off (torx plus thread lock = problems) so I had to get busy with the mig welder and a M8 nut !
Next up was the carpets (lovely light grey colour) ......

It was then in with the new - a black carpet .......

And then back in with the new seats (which took nearly as long as getting the old ones out - Torx I love them !) ....

Must say that they look miles better than the old ones especially with the darker carpet . NB also found a 50p under the front seat along with some paracetamol :confused:
Front seats are on the cards in the next couple of nights !
Enjoy
Joff
That spolier looks different shade!
Hats off to your work ethic Joff, wish i had a tenth of your enthusiasm!
the darker carpet looks loads better IMO
I thought that and went to double check - in real life they look the same - I think it must be the flash reflecting off the metalic paint a different way to the existing paintwork.Quote:

Cheers for the comments - my back doesn't feel very "enthusiastic" at the moment !
Joff
Looking loads better nwo that it mate.
Did you rob that spoiler from a GTi-R? It's huge lol!
Interior is a massive improvement and the 'aero packgae' tidies the back up nicely.
Quick update....
Got the front seats fitted (even robbed the underseat storage tray from the old passenger seat!) .....

Also cleaned up the dash....

And then treated it to a nice seat of genuine Vauxhall mats .....

Also picked up a couple of bargains off the bay this week . A set of Irmscher side skirts which normally retail at something stupid like £400 .....
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15...ivaskirts1.jpg
And a front bumper lower spoiler (again go for something like £300 from the dealers)......
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15...vaspoiler1.jpg
Both from the same seller, brand new, unfitted and with fitting kits - for £90 for the lot ! Bargain :thumb: :thumb:
Will need to drop them off at the spray shop sometime. Just need to change the thermostat and the battery tray and we're ready for lift off on Monday being the 1st of the month.
Also been quoted £299 for a new stainless exhaust system from the local Longlife franchsie in Doncaster - anyone had any experience on Longlife stuff?
Joff
Our local longlife are decent quality and dont know of anyone having issues, all down to what spec you choose but the materials and workmanship cant be knocked.
ive had a longlife exhaust fitted to my astra sri, just make sure they dont do it too loud my neighbours are just getting used to it 4 months later. Good quality took 2 hours and fitted de-cat free (which i supplied).
