Nothing too much to update, ive got some spring compressors and ive had hassle with my Payroll at work since theyve changed it to Monthly now ive got to wait well over 6 weeks to be bloody paid so I havent spent any money on the car just incase!

Quick nip to halfords today to spray the bump strips and colour code them, I always think black trim on a car makes it look a bit like a lower trim level, I cant take them off as they have positioning holes behind them!

This was the stuff I got from Halfords, 1 can of this, 1 of primer and 1 of lacquer was less than £20! The paint is ever so slightly lighter.

I warmed up the cans under the engine bay, then I bloody noticed this! The bolt wasnt even that tight! Gonna have to get another one of them now, this one is shagged anyway, both the boost hose rubber clamps have snapped.

Put them back on and there we have it! Probably only took an hour and a half to do including waiting for the primer and paint to dry. Lets hope they stay attached!
