Joshy's Ed30 Build Thread
Joshy:
Covered up the mess on the bumper beneath the grille today.
Had a delivery of some screws that were missing off the bumper/grille too.
Also managed to glue the magnet to my numberplate as well as get it wrapped in fabric.
Hopefully will get the other magnets glued to the underside of my smooth grille tomorrow :happy2:
Joshy:
Rushed home after work to get the new reg transferred and onto the car :grin:

The front grille was on my to do list. Didn't realise it was in that bad a mess underneath.
Front bumper was off last april when the peron was fitted, but i didn't see it. Really hope that mess wasn't created then as id think twice about using the garage that did.
Anyway great improvements mate. Really adding the final little details to it.
Oh and i found a bottle opener/cup holder divider the other day if you want me to post it down mate?

Yeah you wouldn't notice unless you took the grille off!
The smooth grille / magnet plate is such an improvement in my opinion. I did think I'd run with the plate in the window, but i actually really like the look of a small plate with no plate surround. Only problem i've really had so far is that i think i can see the outline of the magnets on the grille. Maybe a layer of felt between the rear of the grille and the magnets is the way to go!
Cheers mate, much appreciated :happy2: I've got loads of other little bits that i want to do, then some bigger mods too, just need the time & money!
And yeah post it down mate! :drinking:

There been no real progress on the car since last posting, i've just been enjoying the car, whilst thinking of a million and one things to buy for it :happy2:
Anyway, EML came on recently due to a broken connector. Opened up the bonnet and realised the intake piping had been sat on said sensor, and broken up. Rather than just replacing the broken component, i thought it would be a good time to also replace the intake system. Ordered myself the Revo intake which arrived while i was at work today! Hopefully i'll get it fitted later this evening if the rain holds off.
I'm very tempted to wrap the pipework in golf reflect heat tape. We'll see!
