cooper - oh man, i bought a dropped rs3 pump on tuesday but decided i cba to source a mk5 pump to use the lid and run it, so bought a new ttrs pump yesterday. i appreciate the offer though bud  :happy2:

olethalb:
Last night popped it outside and loaded it up onto the trailer



Got my new ttrs pump



Seam sealer came in prep for chopping / platimg rear floor



And went to vw and spent £81 on bolts / brackets / foams for the front end

Dave J:
Great work Olly - it's going to look fresh after those bits of bodywork.
VW pricing is amazing - so much money for just a few bits that'll never be seen, but at least you know it has been built right!

olethalb:
thanks Dave, yea always the silly little bits that add up fast :signLOL:

olethalb:
So had word from painter body was done, he dropped it back last night around 6 and i set to it, was too busy to take many pics

So first on was rear bumper (without pdc sensors) and votex valance



Then fuel flap, door handles and votex side skirt (he'd already fitted new rubstrips)



The front turned out to be more involved than first expected, the wings didn't sit even close to original upper mounting points and the brackets were not available seperately so had to make up a pair of these





I also welded the new ends on and welded the rear headlight brackets on, bought some bulbs - although i was advised they were all h7 two of them are actually h15 but fitted what i had



Spent a little time jiggling the front around and roughly bolted it up



I also bought 4 new door rubbers but the rear ones look like someone had been using them for a sword fight so 2 more on order



Hoping to get the bumper back over the weekend along with the bonnet lifter ( i lost ) bonnet cable (different apparently) and h15 bulbs and a few other odds and ends
