Hi all, Little update then. First off after work one night last week I stopped a little to get my servo finished. As some bits under the bonnet are powdercoated black I opted to paint it black and finished it with a satin finish lacqeur for a standard look etc........

I also had a pm recently from Edd Rodgers on here who offered me a full set of original gm vinyl in the blue grey colour I wanted. He had them supplied by Duick on here but decided against using them. They arrived in yesterdays post, Big Thanks to Edd for these!............

Also as Id changed my mind on the grey I will be using numerous bits Ive done recently had to be prepared and painted again! Below in a slightly different grey than the last time!......

And lastly for todays update... I decided after last years fiasco with the red one (some may remember the unfortunate non fitting scenario of a set of allesios after many hours work!) I thought it best to trial fit these Comp's before painting them up. To check mainly they clear the Reylands on the front and all the coilovers etc. The good news is they seem to do just that! Plenty of clearance on the brakes and suspension all round which is good. The only one thing I can say against them is on the front they seem to have a little excess space between the hub and the centre of wheel (1.5mm at a maximum). I havent driven it as yet to see if It makes a difference but I think a set of thin spigott rings may be needed? Ive never run a set of comps before so Im unsure if they have a slightly looser fit than other wheels? I know my allesios on the previous car were quite a firm fit in comparison. Any advice help here would be good! Anyhow here's some pics of one side fitted.........

Plenty of clearance here (approx 15mm between caliper and wheel spoke!) with no spacers needed.....

And on the rears........

I actually dont mind the look of them in black but I think they will be more subtle in grey to be honest. One last cheeky shot below!........

Lastly for today I enquired about the gutter strips at my local vaux dealer, They came up trumps with a new set in blue grey colour! Bonus........

Now all the vinyls,Trims,mouldings and wheels I wanted are sourced Im only left chasing a grill. Im only being fussy really as one clip has broken from mine But for what it'll cost to get one I may as well. To be quite honest I cant believe all the parts I was after have all come together so quickly as I thought some might be a real nightmare to find. Only thing is its left me a little bit low on funds! So with christmas fast approaching I cant see me spending anymore on it until the new year now. I am however uber happy with what Ive achieved/sourced in a very small period of time! :)
Nick.
Good old Edd. He's not my best buddy for nuffin.
Cant believe you managed to get it all genuine nick !
Will look awesome when its all together
What colour is that on the grey door handles etc and can i have your dent mans number ?
I usually always end up with comps, and i think they have been a bit looser than most but ive never had any issues with them.
Looks spot on mate, and may i say im jealous, not everyone manages to get all genuine bits. :thumb:
Good work Nick, its going to be a true show stopper!
Looking good dude, think tho black wheel nuts would be a good one...
Glad to hear that on the comps fella!, Ive since ordered some 1mm spigott rings just for piece of mind, I'll test drive it with and without to check for any difference. :)Quote:

Craig, I heard you pointed Edd in my direction so thanks for that!
W88rdy, The grey is a custom mix based on a U pol plastic bumper colour that Ive lacqeured over for a good long term finish. You have pm also.
Nick.
I really need a drivers roof gutter trim for mine but been told by my dealer they are NLS on several occasions now.
Passenger fits on the opposite side if you rotate it 180 degrees, i.e they're symmetrical about the middle :)Quote:
