Just got to replace the driveshaft bolts for the new ones I have.

cars looking fantastic mate

please dont take this as a put down but can you not do anything with the brake fluid resivor as in the pics its looking very brownish if you get what i mean

would really make a massive difference if it was a nice clean one

strut tops would look good black also

top work mate

Well had a good constructive day... Went down to see Craig @ distintive detail as he rang me this morning seeing if I'd got any Cossie plugs luckily is got some new 071's in stock... So had a run down to drop them off has he's been doing a rs500 for a customer...anyhow the Custermer picked it up and came to look at my 3dr... Anyway was nice to meet Daz the owner.. Here's a few pics.
