my 90 project :)

thanks everyone, really appreciate it, have put a lot ofhard work into it and i am a window tinter and signwriter/ vinyl wrapper by profession and started 5 years ago so tints to me are no trouble whereas i know a load of people that have tried and will never try again
same goes for the prices, i get trade prices from the warehouse on certain stock so theres no use in me saying prices really as shelf price will set you back £20+ a metre and you need about 10-12 metres for a 90 and an extra couple for a 110, it does wear well as i drive it into the bush when i park it, will take it laing when its done to give everyone a proper verdict tho
 
had to fit in seing the cousins after work as its been 5 years then escaped and took the bonnet off to tidy up the underside before i do the top while the mrs is on a late shift, someone somewhere decided to stick blue carpet on the bottom with some strong stuff so had to scraper it off and painted it black so looks tidier

The vent on the passangers wing, where did you gey it from? I seen some nice carbon fibre ones but the seller is looking £20 to ship here to N.Ireland. If I get a black one I can get it carbon dipped over here.
 
it was already on there when i bought the car bud, ive just had a look in the britpart catalogue for you and their part number is da4000 or da4001 if that helps for the search
 
looks like the da4000 is drivers side and da4001 is pasengers, they have a dealer locater on their website too but dont give prices
 
spent a couple of hours on her today and notice this thing is leaking to :( where the yellow L shape is with the brown stain lol

also wrapped this back corner, stripped all the lights out, sprayed the numberplate light cover to tidy up ad changed the old big square reverse light for a small round light to match the rest, i did put it a bit more to the left at first but didnt look right so centred it there and im happy.

ive took the big triangle reflector off the drivers side and replaced it with these little ones off push bikes to tidy it up a bit but want opinions on placing?
also picked up a tow bar so we can take the horses to shows, give it a lick of gloss black and all fitted on
 
Ye there are but all I could find that size doesn't matter..... Good job lol and they need to be on the extreme edge of the rear to each side so I'd imagine these are legal just wanted to get rid of the big red triangle as it will be a bit messy on the white
 
fitted some led strips behind the little vents in headlight surrounds, also put some on underside of bonnet which come on when you lift the bonnet up and give a nice clear light on everything in the dark, forgot the pik of that tho, also painted half of the chassis ad underneath black
