Hey man,
I asked my mate and he said it can be a bit fiddly but if he remembers right to remove the 3rd brake light you remove two screws from within the boot and then lever it out with a screwdriver.
Hope that helps.

thinking of changing the wheels again as I want black ones to match the yellow/black theme... what do you think of these? they are 15" and he said they are BBS but I am not sure of that
(edit: going for around £120...almost afraid of buying them at such a cheap price)

hehe same reason I thought that they aren't actually BBS apart from being cheap ... but I still sort of like them more than the once I have

bet they are 7j (with 195 wide tires), but not sure. Yeah will definitely go for some stretch (185 or 175) and lower profile cos those tires look huge hehe
but cos I am low on money right now I have to wait till they wear out

Nah. They sit to snug for a 7J...There would be a bit of stretch on a 7j on a 195. More like 6 or 6.5J

ah could be cos I don't know any of the measurements neither of the wheels nor of the tires

long time no updates ... done some minor stuff...
Sprayed one wheel (test wheel hehe) black using a rubber compound spray for a little different texture
sprayed the interior door handles using the same spray and as it is a rubber compound it gives a better touch then other sprays...
Sprayed the tweeter plastic surround but leaving the grill in original colour to be a little different hehe
sprayed the new rear badge in black after breaking the old one to remove it
I have also removed the resonator silencer so my stupid 1.0l makes a fucken awesome sound now hehe
maybe I'll upload a vid on youtube some time

ehh it's the one they use as stone guard hehe ... I really like it cos its easy to use and has got that nice matt texture finish to it
the problem is that it needs constant polishing when exposed to the elements so I'll spray all over it with common mat black spray to go over the constant polishing...
