[Optispart]

mint but my LED rears dont work right i dont think they when indicating they flash as in the full rear light but not just the indicator bulb

 

[Robb]

I think i prefer that colour more than black now (Y) (the two favoured colours for a prefacelift being black or white!)

 

[joesouthgate]

Cheers guys Optispart I will find out what order the pins need to be in tomorrow.

 

[joesouthgate]

Just ordered from Matt Humphris the legend :
Bilstein shock absorbers
Whiteline adjustable panhard rod
Whiteline front lower strut brace.
Already have the 50mm lowering springs to go on with it all

Can't Wait

cool well how about this, not this weekend but next, we can use the lock up and swap the suspention both at the same time in a warm safe place i have spring compressers too

 

[joesouthgate]

Sounds like a plan, I was thinking it would be a good idea if we just did both of them at the same time.

Also just ordered:
GA16 K&N Panel Filter
Magnecor KV85 HT Leads

Has anyone guessed its payday yet?

I think it needs to go lower imo ...

But it has come very far in a short space of time

Good Job (Y)

 

[joesouthgate]

Cheers, it will be going lower but only by 10-20mm which will look ace but still keep it practical...ish

 

[joesouthgate]

Bought some mesh to redo my nismo grille with:

 

[jim_bling]

yea its the stuff i have in my bumper and grills look forward to the update

 

[Joe.Powell]

How/Where was the mesh from? Im seeing it for silly prices in the local car shops.

I got my mesh from a garden centre, i think it was a section for a rabbit hutch lol...but cutting it on and angle and a bit of paint and its done the job fine...best bit it only cost a few quid

 

[joesouthgate]

It was £15 quid from ebay, I prefer to buy it powdercoated black as I should think it would be a pain in the ass to sand and paint mesh so it suck okay.

 

[Joe.Powell]

Im looking around at £20, £25 for a half size peice! Might have a check on ebay for a few bargins!

 

[Optispart]

ive got a load of that off ebay aswell still sat there not used

 

[joesouthgate]

That bit is more than twice what you can see in the pic.

 

[Optispart]

[joesouthgate]

[Micra_Mamp]

I'm loving the pod! where did you get it from?? is there a website i should go to to find it?? cheers =]

 

[joesouthgate]

Get it from Japan! Talk to AMY on here, or find one on Japan auctions etc or in a scrapped imported March.

 

[joesouthgate]

Fitted some fog lights today:

Not for driving around with them on to look 'cool' because we are getting a lot of fog atm!

 

[burkey0013]

[joesouthgate]

very nice mate, how did you attach the end to the bonnet? are they on both sides or just one?

I had to drill through the side, then drill through the front so i could get the nut on the other side of the nuckle. needs tidying up a bit.

Thank you moddedmicra!
