1.Right i am getting rid of the handle having a solenoid on it, when i can be arsed prob jus b4 time for sprayin.

2.I didn't get the bolts out but used a trick with some old rusty thread metal i found in the shed. The vacuum pipe is running into the airbox now. Might sort it a bit better soon.

3.Does any one know when there's cruises up north west cos i'm really up for one, never been as i'm new, missed inters cos grinded my finger when doing boot. :oops:

Cheers guys anyway.

I'm can't wait for the bumper, splitter, debadged grill being dispatched tomoro be with me in 7-10 days can't wait.

Plus does anyone know if i can get my ecu chipped up?

Coming along nicely, but lose the rear handle and rubbing strips, get some colour coded bumpers and whip that GT badge off the grille!

I'm not a fan of badging something up to be something it's not. Just my 2p.

Venoms! :shock:

Oh, GT springs? As far as I'm aware they're no different to the CL ones, it's the rear beam with the second anti roll bar that makes a difference to handling.

Looks like the paintwork's mint too, lots of polishing gone in there I'd imagine! 8)

I'm basically saying my mate had his springs off a gt an cut some spring down think 10/15mm. The gt badge is going as soon as i get my de-badged grill through.

And i need to know how to fix in a boot solenoid to open the boot from inside.

I wanted to know what the rubbing strips are.

And i'm gettin the bodykit trough soon so then bumpers and everythin will be coded in colour.

Yeah the rubbing strips are the sticky-out plastic bits on the side, looks much neater with them off, unless you get a GT/G40 bodykit?

That'd look cool too!

Lowrider might be able to help you with the solenoid thing, he's got a flushed tailgate on his.
