    Not much of an update as nothings really happened!

    I had decided to keep the MO's and get them sprayed a darker anthracite until these appeared on eBay for a very good price of £180. They're 15" OZ Rally wheels, 6J ET49 etc and were removed from a Nova rally car. I had been looking for a set of these for a long time and the only set I found where in Poland for £450!

    I have now sold the MO's to a friend to fund the new wheels. I am getting conza123 to swap the tyres from the MO's onto these on Saturday and then I am getting them painted a dark anthracite on Wednesday hopefully!

    Cheers mate!

    Yesterday I fitted my carbon scuttle panel supplied by Chris at CMComposites. It really cleans up the bay nicely and looks great also!

    I then fitted my flocked steering wheel which was done by Prey. It really goes with the rest of flocked stuff but not over the top. Plus it feels nice too when driving about.

    Then today I decided to fit a red pinstripe to the bumpers just to see what it looks like. At first, I wasn't too sure about it but then it may just be because i'm too used to it how it is.

    I also moved my washer bottle to the scuttle but didn't get any pictures.

    Since looking at my engine bay for the past two days, i've decided to try and make it look really smart. So, i'm currently on the lookout for a Bailey header tank and red silicone hoses.

    Looking good, but did you put some insulation over the top of battery when you fitted the scuttle cover, my mates shorted on the battery terminals and tarnished the battery end of the carbon as it was starting to catch fire!

    Cheers guys!

    And Spudly, I've heard about them stories before so when I bought the scuttle cover I also bought some terminal covers! Cheers for letting me know anyway.
