Quick question how do the surround mount onto the bumper?

Just have to un-screw the plate on the back, then screw in one of the surrounds. Slot the plate in the side then.
On the front, unscrew the plate, then un-screw the front OEM surround. And replace with new surround :)

Finally after a month and a half, I've got the front arches rolled and new 3SDM 0.06 wheels fitted. Been torture not being able to fit them.
Had to buy the Superpro adjustable balljoints as well to get the fronts to fit, as it happens, the standard balljoints were a fail on my MOT last week so just as well I bought them! Below are some pictures from today.
Also, I am aware the wheels are facing opposite directions. I thought it looked pretty cool when driving to see the effect it gives of them spinning in opposite directions, but my OCD is really kicking in, so swapping the backs over tomorrow so facing same way lol. Damn OCD.
New FK droplinks on front as standard OEM ones were fooooked:
Shot of how the arch looks now its rolled:
Shot of the now fat ass and camber:
Shot down side of the car:
And another:
Stanced nicely:
And final shot:
Will take another few shots tomorrow once backs are swapped over.
Also never got round to posting few other mods I did a couple weeks back.
Fitted R32 taillights, courtesy of @GarethB , smooth sale and sound guy. Would recommend if he has any future sales.
Also sold me his open fog grilles
Easy to fit both, and I'm pure dumb when it comes to fitting things myself lol.
Shot of the R32 taillights in, though not sure the photo does the colour difference justice:
Shot of standard fog grilles:
Shot of open fog grilles:
And a close up:
Have also got the Whiteline 24mm RARB fitted, but forgot to take photos when it was fitted, and also forgot today when the car was jacked up .... swear I have a memory like a sieve!
Should hopefully have a few other things to add to the ever growing list in the next month or so.
Adam0604:
Gave the car a good clean today, pleased with the results and shine from just using snowfoam and Meguiars gold class.
Bit gutted that I don't think I'm going to be able to get the drivers side arch re-sprayed in time for Early Edition next weekend, but not much can be done about it.
Should have a few other updates before the Sunday done on the car though with any luck.
Pacman:
Really like the colour of your motor has a nice glossy shine to it,the rims are smart too :drool:
Keep up the good work.
Adam0604:
Soooo a little bit to update.
Forgot to take pictures of before and after, but both my front arches have now been repaired and resprayed. Was really getting me down as it was letting the cars look down, but the guy I know has done a perfect job, which I'm over the moon about. Even got the little kink out the metal.
Only other thing to update on is I've now got my smoothed grill on, which makes me love the front end look even more :evilgrin: here's a photo:
Few things in the pipeline before Players @Goodwood on 10th June, so should hopefully have some more updates between now and then to share.
Other than that, obligatory photos of the car when the ball of fire that decided to show up at the weekend :signLOL:
