MAX the bonnet is my own special taste i like it the louvres r a mint touch and the scoop is a genuine item off a car i not gonna say :P .... the bonnet has been modded hugly when u look properly whole welded smoothed scoop added 1/2 bad boy washer jets welded, louveres added it is a 1 off.... :D :D

the reason i am using the grey carpet is it is the std rs carpeet i know my rs is no longer std but i wanna keep it for my taste.. :wink:

BEN i can give u 10 mins with the car if u really want :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:


RICHARDSON thanks :)

GHOST ditto

RS WANNABE thanks and the car is bein done in stages ie doors and bonnet together a proper spray job is done in this way as if the doors and that r on the car you cant always get to all areas some people do cheat and keep the doors on :wink:

great work on the bonnet.. but personally not my taste .. it's certainly a one of :-p and therefor unique..

keep up the good work.. and have some of those aggressive looks at other parts of the car..

ok well bak to the matter at hand yes today was one of those horrible days that the car really pi**'s you off i got the car loom in today, new front and rear windows were fitted got the rear 1/4 windows in too and finally got the dash somewhere near!!!!!


Image





Image






Image






Image









the day was just wanna those days where the 1/4 windows were playin up had to stretch the rubbers then they were ok got the windows in sweet but some how i missing one of those window studs :-? think the dog at the body shop may have grabbed it :lol: so if anyone has a spare???

so there in [ERRR] way and then the loom in was pretty easy straight forward till i got to the dash, now people i do warn you as people have previously said my dash fits perfect but.... would it wanna go in with all the wiring?? NO so there i was getting my hair off for 2 hrs fitting the sodding dash got in in [ERRR] way still gotta do a few bits so gonna take it off refit a few things behind it so at least i know it goes on now, then its just the fun of wiring the new dash up but i think i'll call a mate in for that 1 he's magical with elecrtics so he'll make it all work :wink: :D .....

anyway thoughts ?? do share cheers ad :D
