Does make things so much easier when you have a spare of anything . I did have a spare but i'm sanding that one too, to see if its better than mine :roll: . Having done it once it shows i'm raving to even contemplate doing another :p

@ Hughie - I thought it was just me and Debz with named cars!

@ Debz - I have spares of nothing, most people on the site seem to though so might have a hunt around and borrow a slam panle even if it's just for a weekend / week.

Sorry Darren, I'm going to stop hijacking your thread now! :lol:

Looking good :D Although I already said that yesterday :lol:

Splitter really finishes the front end off a treat :) Just needs a bit of a clean, like my car :lol:

If toysrus becomes that stressful, I'm staying at beths, which is within walking distance ;)

Darren the car looks really completed now, you going to be doing anything else to it or leaving the factory look?

And was it easy to fit the splitter? I'm struggling to find where I can fit mine too! Did you have to drill holes?

Cheers mate. Not sure which direction to go now. A Rocspeed induction kit will be ordered this week. It really does hold the road better now ;)

As for the splitter we used self tapping screws to fit it. Just have to line it up, easier with two pairs of hands.

What size screws did you use? Oh yes the rocspeed kit is very good! Fitted mine yesterday would defo recommend.

The only problem I'm having with the splitter is the fact of holes, the front one looks like it might fit ok but just the sides. Might wait until Debz meet and hijack Hughie :lol:

Dunno what size the self tappers were :lol: just get the front in the air, line up the screw, make a mark, remove splitter, start screwing (:evil4:), once the screw bites, remove it, put splitter back, screw in place :) simples ;)

I'll give you a hand at debbies if you want paul :)

Cheers again Darren for an awesome day :D

Cheers Rick :thumbleft:

The car was totally standard when i first got her, she was in a mess as well. Even now shes not perfect but getting better.

Im sure I can speak for Hughie by saying if you could get down our way we'd gladly lend a hand to lower it ;)

It's not that hard! Get a mate and a dry day and some decent tools and it's easy! I had rubbish spring compressors so struggled a wee bit with the fronts but with a decent way of compressing the spring it's easy!
