    Somehow through all this rain I've managed to install the parts.
    Will post some photos when the rain clears up a bit.

          Thanks. I also got a mini antenna but forgot to post a photo, it's just black.
          junyip_69 got a photo so that I can see what one you're referring to?

              Was changing over the rear rotors and didn't realise I need some kind of blowtorch or something to heat up the ABS gear thingy to get it off...where should I get the rotors changed over then? (I already have brake fluid)

              While doing this I found that the bolts on the rear hubs were loose and this is why my wheels have been wobbling (honestly didn't think much of it since it was so mild) and would explain why one was so far off when I had the alignment done.
              So I guess afternoon wasn't entirely wasted.

                Some good stuff going on in this thread you should be able to pry that abs ring off? you may have to slightly "close" it back up a tad so that it hugs the new disc nice and tight....

                Love unexpectedly finding little things wrong and fixing them

                hows that bumper black holding up? i'll go a plus one to hayden on the forever black too, that stuff is amazing; and none of those products will work on your handles or any other hard shiny plastic because it isn't porous enough to soak up the die...

                  I even have the tool to take the ring off except there's isn't much for it to hold onto and don't want to damage the ring.

                  I've gone over it once again and it seems to hold up alright, the rear is probably the least effective in holding it.


                  Also successfully replaced the passenger side door lock mechanism so now you can use a key to lock/unlock it from that side.

                    Right side handle seals replaced. Left side has one original and the ones that came with the handle I used to replace the lock-hook.
                    Bought the seals from a guy in Mexico, 4 weeks to arrive but the quality is really good.
                    Some more (actually interesting) items coming next month.

                    edit: Messed up order so that's no fun, looks like I'll be giving up the modding for a few months. don't watch this space I guess.

                      Nabbed a 1000W sub and amp from a wrecking car. Big step up.
                      Finally hooked up the DRLs that were in the indicator/fog spot.


                      Planning on keyless entry system and changing over interior switch green LEDs to red or blue.
