As for that garage that's a complete joke that he went to Facebook to take the pish, I'd be going on with a print out and asking for an explanation in front of his boss. It looks a lot better now the rear doors work too bud!

Carbon fiber is quite easy to cut and shape really. Its just that moment when u move the grinder up to the carbon fiber and you know full well that if u do it wrong thats a good few £££ down the pan.

I would bring it up with the garage but i cant see anything coming of it really. They get an angry customer that they all have a giggle about when i leave. I expect they have already had enough laughs at my expense i would rather not bother giving them more

Its not the prettiest thing, still need to seal up and maybe skim some filler over the top to try and make it look better?

Look my rear door opens...i can take the baby seat out now  :grin:





I dont mind it looking messy though. Theres no reason for anyone to go poking around under there...except maybe an mot tester. Once i space the wheels out some more you wont even be able to see up there without opening the door.

V3trox:
So both rear arches are now cut down to size with plenty of clearance. Trip to the diy store for some black sealant to plug up all the gaps underneath. Rub some cutting paste along the overspray to get it off, replace a drive shaft and then shes good for the rest of the winter until i get started on the engine...maybe some depo lights

However its not all sh*ts and giggles today. I knew it would happen but i cut the second arch extension wonky. Its not bad but you know...i did so well XD


And also, 2 steps forward 1 step back

AJG09:
Much better and I think id leave the rubber trim on if I'm honest  :smiley:

So last night (in the rain i might add!!) i swapped out my offside driveshaft for a new one as the cv was on its way out and for the extra £9 of getting an used (but still brand new) one i thought sod it may as well swap the whole shaft.

Today went to the MOT station and now im good for 12 months.

Still not washed it as weather is total garbage at the moment so on my way home from a job i thought i would try and snap at least a couple of pics.






God those pics make it look like its riding so high! Might invest in air ride next year some time.

AJG09:
I think once those arches are filled out more it will look lower. Good news about the mot, got mine tomorow... :booty:  did you go to the same place?
