Got some pics of my MDF skills  uploaded -
Got my MDF -
Whipped out the boot carpet and measured half way -
Drew around carpet -
Set about cutting it out -
Then realised it wouldnt fit how i had planned so had to cut it up and restick it to make it fit - Job done
Its still nice and flat even though its been stuck
Thats all for that

Today i gave her the love and attention that shes been craving for ages
So i was up at 9am, after having vacuumed her out yesterday and cleaned all the inside , i only had to wash her and do all that.
So i washed, dried and polished her  then gave her bumper care treatment, back to black wheel cleaning stuff and cleaned the windows
She was shining so well in the sun  although i got a few funny looks from the mums coming from the local school because i was in a tshirt at 9am
Then i nipped to vauxhall to collect my newly arrived parts then fitted them in literally 5 mins.
Before -
After -
A poor picture of how she looked shall be off out to get some pics later on 
Thats all for today and pretty much all that could be done during my easter vacation but i am very happy with how she looks would look awesome lowered, but ah well, ill just wait for that.
Signature pic from before wash

Deflectors look I've been considering them for a while, they set you back much?
Shame about your insurance and the lowering, when's your renewal?

The wind deflectors do look a hell of a lot better than i expected and they dont stick out really far from the bodywork they are pretty awesome
I really want to lower it now :cry: my easter modding would have been complete *sigh* ah well, why rush things. ill sort it in september with my other new plans

H, how long did the wind deflectors take to come into stock?
And do they interfere with the electric windows at all? I was told they may do, due to the 'not closing on peoples fingers/hands/heads' feature

I ordered them after 4pm on a friday so was a bit screwed, but they arrived wednesday (alothough told they would be there tuesday )
So prob about 2-3 days.
The windows are a bit tight to put up the first few times and are still a lil stiff now, but is getting less.
They never asked about if i had leccy windows or not, but if they ask tell them no because they will prob be gay about letting you have them 
They should be fine with leccy windows though

Looks good. I was about to say after the first pic "Needs Depos" then realised they are Depos. Must have caught the light strange.
Black alloys would finish it off nicely - pricey though
