Air Bag resistor came through the post yesterday! (Thanks Sam! :) ) So got that fitted.

Also got horrendously bored. So £3 later...

Sidelights in the indicators. The picture makes them look quite bright here, but they're not that bad. The indicators flash much brighter than the sidelight. Not sure how legal this is mind...

Not sure if I like the orange indicators though?

Also have managed to get paint for the wheels now, so next week they should be nearly finished 8-)

Nice job on the indicators...exactly how easy is it to do? did you take off the wing or just pull out the wires to splice them?

Thanks mate. Easy, took me 20 mins lol. I spliced them into the loom before the headlight plug on the back of the headlights. Only thing I removed was the indicators haha

Sanded them down. Went through the different grades of wet and dry. Them primered them. Flatted them back. Another coat of primer, quick flat back and then paint so far.

I will also like to see the pictures on this :nod:

It rubbed, alot. Haha. Have had to raise it a tad more for now. Need to cut away the arch liners and roll the arches slightly! Also I think it needs spacing ever so slightly on the front to stop it rubbing on the coilovers!

Anyway, drove it to bristol to see my brother / help him out with his polo.

Center caps should be done next week 8-)

Hopefully will be slightly lower on the front. Can now move on to sorting the roof :D

I had this same problem, I've butchered my inner arches to stop scrubbing (not much difference) will defo need arches rolling too. Mines on the bbs e30's but Yours looks so much better :thumbsup:

Picked this up the other day 8-)

Been wanting one for ages! Although is part of a christmas present so not getting it to the end of the month! :lol:

Also this happened.

E9D9D934-4C1B-4E40-B054-39BB6485EBEB-149

Turned out alright. Might have rolled it more than I was intending but ah well, although the paint cracked on the passenger side! :(

Just need to lower it when not caught up with uni!

Got some really nice stance there mate. One of my favorite 6ns too. If i'm honest though (dont take this the wrong way) but I don't like the wiper blades they look really cheap and i'm not sure about the wind deflectors. Brilliant otherwise though.
