Waiting for my engine to be fitted at the moment once thats done its full steam ahead.

its the so called little things that keep popping up like the front tyre's was baloon's as you can see in the pic above so yesterday i had a new set put on and as the guy at the garage jacked one side up i noticed water in one of the headlights so i payed for my tyre's and went home to look for a new pair and can i bugery find a matching pair all sets i came across had a darker drivers lense to the passenger side

jay26

looks good mate, if u can't find a light mite be easy to take it apart clean it then seal it back together

nealo

yeah was going to say take your lights apart and reseal them mate if you cant find new items.

i agree though it is all the little parts that mount up - i know the feeling, but the satisfaction you get is unreal isnt it

jay26

i have dry'd it out but now i wont be happy till they been swaped as they are looking tatty anyway

jay26

well today i have been to have my exhaust redone as it was hanging too low and catching on evrything only cost me Ł20 quid incluedin clamps and rubber
