Thanks for the offer Craig, i'm going to do them full carbon though. I kinda like them :D

Just need to buy more wrap though because I didn't get enough.

Can anyone tell me how to quote a few things within one post instead of having to reply to them all as separate posts?

Thanks

Yeah you can multiple quote in a thread by quoting the first comment and then scrolling up the page to the next comment and just click quote again, just keep doing that and you can quote several times in the same comment :)

Look forward to seeing the pics of the car with its new exhaust Mandy :)

Sorry for not getting you those pics of the wheels, I have had a pretty miserable Christmas with Man Flu so have been bed bound for the last couple of weeks.
I promise to get you some pics this weekend

Thanks Ben, I am so excited to get the exhaust off and see how low she can sit!! :D

Have to wait until Saturday to take the parcel shelf in, the trimmers have been closed all through Xmas and New Year, even though they told me they were open! (how RUDE!!) :evil:

Few things planned over the next couple of weeks, a full pic update of everything will follow asap:

- Taking the window tints off - Hairdryer/nail varnish remover/cotton wool/other gluey removal tools at the ready!

- Speaker upgrades for the front & rear door cards and tweeters (ordered)

- Need to pick up some new inner door handles, decided against the carbon wrap - It cheapens the look of the leather interior in my opinion

- De-wiper the rear window

- Looking into new Head Units, what do people think of this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JVC-KW-AVX740 ... 4cf938b1e4

There is still so much to do it is actually scaring me now, plenty sleepless nights worrying about stuff! I am a perfectionist though so everything has to be just right! I still have the re-spray to worry about and the engine bay aswell!

It's all hands on deck over the next few weeks to get the car to the show standard I want ready for Ultimate Dubs in March.... HELP! Lol

Arrgghhhhhhhh!!!!!.......................... and BREATHE! :shock:

Sounds like your going to be a busy bee in the next few months then :) liking your plans though, should look brilliant

The Window tints are love or hate I guess, one of the reasons I put them on was to prevent the interior getting too hot in the summer, they did help slightly but its get proper hot in there on a nice summer day. Tried to keep it parked in the shade in the summer because its like sitting on hot coals when you sit on those leather seats after its been parked up for a while, thats the only downside to the leather though because in the winter its boss 8)

De-wipered Rear Window should look class too, something I also planned to get done but never got round to it :)
