Been changing a few bits over the last couple of weeks trying to get most of the exterior done before the Cumbria show then the engine side of things before the end of May now i've manged to get 650 miles on the new engine.
I was going down the RS500 rep route and purchased a lower rear spoiler and fog grills but that has been scrapped and now the car is being treated to an array of new standard parts including a set of Apex -35mm on Koni struts to replace the standard ride height,wheels & dealership plates.
Next jobs are get all the plastics repainted, fit the new indicators and lights all round, refit the standard front splitter and side mouldings.
New spotless wheels and tyres added
This how the car currently stands -35mm and new rims

Bodyshop Update time
Here we go again, another car in the bodyshop and a few tears at it being ripped apart
but it'll be mint when finishedIt looks like the whole car is having a respray now not just the plastics.
Rust issues are very minimal which is good, a small bit under the airbox and a bit at the bottom of the rear passenger arch.

Look at what we've done today
Engine bay work, a couple of areas on the inner wings needed sorting
Area of concern on the passenger wing, this has had a previous repair which was built up with fibreglass so all that has been removed and a piece welded in and a sheet of metal welded from underneath and red oxide applied.
And the arse end
More updates tomorrow

It's getting the rear end of the car prepared and primed tomorrow so i'm hoping it's done really for the middle of next week. It's the plastics that are going to need quite a bit of time to prepare but I'll be cutting it closely. Are you a member of our local group?
