So this mornings first job was to temporarily fit the spats, Wanted to see what they look like standard non painted.
Decided they looked **** and took them off. More on this later.

Went and picked an aircon grill panel up. I haven't got a panel at all and this was reasonably priced locally so thought I'd see what it looks like.

Test fitted it and it sticks out ALOT further than I thought it would :eek:
May end up changing it for a standard one as I'm not reet sure about it.
On a plus note I could get a HUGE intercooler behind there :D

Any way, Took it back of and prepped for paint and then wanged some colour on it :p

As I was saying earlier about the spats. I thought they looked **** as standard so decided they need painting.
So seeing as I was painting me grill I thought I'd paint a spat up and see what they look like colour coded.
If I don't like it they'll go gloss black I think.

Gloss black will look very nice.

Aaron did you order standard suspension dampers and springs.?! I need to replace mine but want to keep it standard hight. Was thinking of the OEM Armstrong set. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay.?!

I'm using standard height Allmakes springs. (For not a lot of money.) But I've fitted a few sets of them and never had a problem. Will have a look and tell you an exact price if you want?

As for shocks as daft as it sounds I actually haven't fitted any yet. Cant decide weather to fit Armstrongs as you say or something like Bilstein's.
 
I think the blue looks ok, would look better with some colour coded sills. Top job overall though.
 
Aaron, do ma a favour mate and save me hunting through the 40 odd pages of your thread. Before you put your 2k epoxy primer on your radius arms, axles etc, did you use any form of rust converter?

If you wouldn't mind that would be great. :D

I've replaced my shocks all round with armstrong and haven't had any issues so far. Paid around £18 each from ebay i think....

Sounds good to me :D
 

Definitely going gloss black now mate :)

Nope I just applied straight to clean metal. Although I used etch primer as that's what I had.
Epoxy does the same sort of thing but better :)
 
hmmm you are going to finish before me haha :/ looks great mate
