Were you trying to take the piss out of us all when you said you had an hour to clean under the bonnet?

Never seen such a clean engine bay tbh. Looks amazing and defi better with the A/C pipe under the brace.

less than i thought he did the rear arch and nearly half a sill in his words "pointless putting a whole sill on when theres nothing wrong with the front so why disturb it"

also did the lower back half of the drivers door and then mopped the whole side up to the front wing

if you really want to know the price pm me but it was less than £500

Won't say how or with what tool in open forum but its a commercially available set of removers. Best looking at the McGard ones with spinning rings to prevent you grabbing the outside with a tight fitting socket. I helped develop those.

I'm not keen mate. just my thoughts like.

I prefered it on the old rims in your sig, it looked right, stock but really well cared for, it was posibly the only hatch i actually saw and liked.

i think on the new ones it looks messed with, Whats your other plans?

Good luck with it. the body work looks well.

ive been busy today woke pikey up at 10 o'clock to do the next update
had a little water leak which i think is the fact one rear light had only

took the lights out cleaned up the paint work behind them   then resealed both lights so fingers crossed
real good condition
