  1. wow, feedback overload.. here we go.. I should think so Martin, thanks for your advice early on. Very pleased with the results wtf ???? Yes, this was taken on wildwood - but how the hell?? Yep, and smoked, and wrapped - something needs to happen - just haven't settled on what yet Thanks Ian, wasn't the easiest decision I've ever made. I't did look very nice in carbon - just not the subtle look i was after. lol - not the first to say it believe me - had a real difference of opinion on this topic. The problem is that if you want a custom bonnet you can't get fibreglass any more - so it's carbon or painted carbon. It IS a crime to paint carbon, but for the look i wanted i had no choice Agreed. This has been playing on my mind and i'm not happy with the wrapped roof finish. I just needed to see if the whole black roof thing was what i wanted for a while before committing to paint - which i think will be soon
  2. Spent most of the day fitting the bonnet properly. Some of you may remember the post about painting the carbon bonnet or not - well this is the result . I had to cut some of the under side fibreglass support away as it sat on the engine cover, plus I had to file out the brackets that it bolts to - and the front catch. Anyway, it fits dead straight now and doesn't foul on the engine anymore It took some work, but worth it. Just got it all finished before the rain started Got some different plans for the front end next Also, I finished the fit on the ings rear, it was a little out from the body shop and needed some proper rubber strips fitting where it contacts the oem bumper. I also took the back boxes off a while ago and carbon wrapped the lower portion of the ings. I realised i hadn't posted any pics since i did that, so.. Yep, that's the wife cleaning the inside - in the rain. Rose bush = less important
  3. Finally got around to fitting the logo's that Rich cut a while ago. Not many posted up with them so i thought i would. A bit tricky to fit as they are quite small but a good result if you're careful..
  4. +1 Did mine a few weeks back and has no idle issues at all. Check for leaks. Check by the oil filler too, that rubber lip is a prime candidate for getting trapped between the spacer and the plenum. P.S. What spacer, gaskets etc. Also did you use any liquid gasket? P.P.S. Just a thought, but you didn't accidentally move the throttle butterfly did you, a throttle body reset would be the way to go if you did.
  5. Probably not much time left for the petrol fuelled sports car (not helped by BP recently). This is just another sign. Best to enjoy them while we have them!
  6. Sounds like a nice quality install you have planned
  7. They look very nice - more details and pics needed though!
  8. You will have to get pics up, it's the law damn, what splitter ?!?!?!?! i love to see white zeds come to life
  9. This ruins football for me, every single time there is something so annoying that I want to kill. My therapist (wife) suggests that I avoid football.
  10. Ordered a full set of EBC ultimax brake disks (x4) and a set of Ferodo DS2500 Pads (x4) with C.S. yesterday, payment was processed just after 4.30pm. I now have all items delivered at home ready to fit - price was great too, cannot ask for better service than this. Thanks Mitz, top customer service as always
  11. Nothing major Shaun (this weekend), interior work + brakes. However I haven't taken any photo's since the Seibon bonnet was painted and fitted.. I have a wax and photo session planned this weekend if the weather holds What wheels fella!?!? - need to know! Got a hunch that this thread is gunna be good - not many whites about (and i agree tez, best colour bar none, my car was silver when i bought it - although it always was going to be white )
  12. Good call Shaun, mine is a frozen white - will get some new pics up this weekend, got a few new mods going on first though
  13. Welcome to the site PS........... that was my 350th POST - WoooooooP
  14. Damn it, can't make it. Went to the last one though and it was a great day out. Am I right in saying there are a few more of these throughout the rest of the summer?
  15. Good find I have both already but i paid much more than that for each of them. I'm sure somebody will grab a a bargain there.

    More Carbon

    Do they face sidewards then Shaun, not forwards?
  17. +1 other than aesthetics - what purpose do they have? Do they fit them to race cars but remove the glass first to help with air circ inside the car perhaps?
