I heard that, I was also thinking of making turbo noises when I drive it, got to be worth at least another couple of ponies surley :)
 
I hope you informed them about 5 times to get the screen with the top tint, as they are guaranteed to bring a standard one. I had to wait 2 weeks for them to get the right screen on my old one.
 
Hally they did indeed forget to bring one with a top tint, by the sounds of it I was lucky to even get the correct screen at all, lots of flicking through guide books when they arrived ensured it would fit though.

I cant really be arsed about it now anyway its done and should now pass its MOT in a couple of weeks time which is all good. I will just need another set of sunglasses for the summer.

Given a quick once over with wire brush and sanding block

Still waiting for my wind deflectors to be delivered aswell :(

Called up Nissan about the rear shock dust cover boots today and they want £80 for a pair what a rip off, anyone know anywhere I can get the cheaper?
 
oh yeah the screens are the same, but my current one doesnt have a top tint and it annoys me :)
 
or a local motor factors, im sure most universal steering rack rubber boots are very similar.

nice work on the caliper, most tend to paint the carrier too for that FULL effect.

I'll have to have an ask about round the local factors, Tried searching for the KYB ones but came up with nothing. Might email the chaps from buypartsbuy where they came from. Im probably not trying hard enough.

I did think about doing all that buy just couldnt be arsed as I only had a fairly large brush and it was windy :) excuses hey :saddam:
 
Found them for half the price of Nissan £56.00 delivered so they are on the way, I suck at the internet!
 
Cheers, Its getting there now. I didnt bargin on it needing so much spent on it to be honest but I'd rather have it done right now its mine. Needs a bloody MOT soon aswell, hopefully it'll get through that fairly trouble free, the advisory sheet from last years was removed from the paperwork I recieved which also bugs me a bit!

Rocker cover has arrived today and I have decided to have it powdercoated silver (same colour or as near as to the cars colour) and the lettering done in gloss black. Hopefully that wont look too shabby!

Nope dont be silly thats the price for just the two rear boots! Its the damn VAT and delivery which bumps it up :(

Still need to get the bloody rust done aswell on the rear arches which is probably going to be a small fortune :frown:

I didnt know you could do that either! Trouble is I had to also apply for a new log book when I changed the numberplates over so the V5 has not come through just yet :(

If it comes through before the MOT then i'll have a browse. I'd assume it got advisories on brakes as they were shot, (still need to replace the rears) Not sure if the shocks would be part of an advisory but they were well, dangerous to say the least :lol:

Next saturday i'll have to check what I am up to, would be a laugh to come along if I am not booked up.
