Didn't keep the backbox as the crack on it was huge. It didn't help when the Twat at Mr Tyre started yanking it back and forth so I'd buy an expensive powerflow off him. MIJ knocked £100 off his best price fitted and the whole process took less than an hour. (very nice burger joint on the premises too).

UPDATE:
Debadged @ the back and de-stickered @ the front and back. Centre dash removed ready to connect ISO connectors. I like the double-din-ready cage.
This plate is available from the DVLA:
Debadged & destickered back, took about 10 mins:
Next thing for the back is The Rear Wiper Mod.

I picked up your toys and put them back in the pram. Thought people might want to see updates, I do.
Thanks mate. I love the bars but sometimes do get urges to remove them, it sounds rather costly though to have the holes filled and smoothed too.
Lmao :lol2:, thanks corbs. Nothing much been done for quite a while. I crave more power... keep your eyes peeled in a month or two... :sinister:
cheers dude
you are right! when i remove the bars i closed tha holes with plastic caps and bison glue! but before i put them i put also a black sticker so not to destroy the paint with the glue!
this is my car with and without bars!

Gave the Car a full service:
Ghey VE Oil filter location:
Fitted Whiteline rear ARB...
Bolts were missing from the Kit, luckily I had some of the same size & grade in my 'bit box'.
Now I found a few Problems whilst messing..
The First being...
No Brake line clips.
That was rectified:
No splash guard bolts:
Sorted:
Also.. Missing front Tow Eye... Why's this Mo??

Oh yeah P.S.... Enjoy it man.. car's feeling a whole lot better to drive with a functioning clutch.
This whole thing has motivated me to fit my bushes after feeling the tightness and mega response of the steering after the Bushes were fitted.
