wont know till your trying to get them out. if you can cover them in wd-40 a few times a day for a few days prior to doing them it tends to help.

Loving the GT bumper. Not that I want to be negative but it doesn't look very low, the bumper looks quite low but the arch gap is another matter . The GT front bumper is such a nightmare, but yet, I love it.

Think it might be best as that way I can get the car finished up etc as there's hardly anything left to do now. I'll text you now

Only have one update and thats Nimrods are for sale as even after dropping it 80mm the wheels still look like bottle tops. So I'm currently looking at getting a set of 7.5x17" Team Dynamics Equinox in Gloss Black. I'll get them wrapped in some 195/40 R17 tyres to give the wheels abit of a stretched look aswell.

Updates are...
I've ordered a stickerbomb book from which I'm going to be using stickers to wrap the centre console in and a few other things with.
Just to give you an idea of what can be done;
I've also ordered a set of the SMD LED's in Blue to convert the colour of the dials in the SW. Other then that I'm going to hopefully have the interior virtually finished tomorrow and get start on once again modifying the dash further and somehow fitting a double din in it or maybe a 7" widescreen monitor running of a single din hu.

Uz, I love it man. I miss mine . Rttam found it on eBay as well. Someone bought it and it ended up in Lincoln. But it has once again been purchased.
Not 100% on the bonnet bra, but it's your car and your style. Keep up the goodness

Cheers for all the comments guys...
Bengie-Doodles - there's a few update. I'll wack them up further down.
Amy - I'm running 20mm spacers on the front wheels and 25mm spacers on the rear wheels. All hubcentric. With regards to the Stickerbomb-in' I bought the book got it home and realised it's too good to use the book on the car as there's some quality stickers in there so won't be stickering the car up but keeping it instead.
Wagsy - It's still weird not seeing updates on your motor. Did see the eBay links for your car, just hope the new owner keeps it in as good a condition as you did. With regards to the bonnet bra it'll just be used for long journies such as to shows etc.
rttam - I bought the book from eBay. When I got it, it was actually Amazon who was selling it. LINK
Soo...update time...
First up me and my dad changed the LED's in the dials so they're blue now.
The car is currently sitting like this, I've just got the lock to put in the drivers door and also Matt (Teebag) will be dropping the back end so it sits level.
I've had Gloss Black vinyl on the door pillar to replace the nasty Pug ones as they come from the factory.
While the car was in the body shop I had the bonnet washer jets flushed which looks like this. Also I've fitted some aero wipers which I bought from Storm and fitted them.
The washer jets are now built into wiper blades.
Just to show you how close the wheels sit on the arch. Hellaflush..?
and finally just an artsy fartsy pic lol
let me know what you think
