Title: Awaiting mods
Post by: chopper on April 20, 2010, 08:24:00 pm

finally got round to giving the motor a good clean, polish and gloss. got rid of the swirls, but noticed hundreds of stone chips on the bonnet. i dont fancy filling all of them in.
but i must say got a pretty good shine off the black pearl

I have the KW V3 coilies and brembos waiting to go on the car. unfortunately when the brembos arrived one of the brake hoses was damaged and some bolts were missing so im still waiting for the replacements to arrive.
