*** Updates 13/07/2012 and 14/07/2012 VBOA Billing Aquadrome ***

Only a few small updates really, firstly getting the car ready for the VBOA weekend.

Friday afternoon, I wanted to slightly raise the back of the car as i thought it was a little too low, it looked really squatted from strip pics at PVS earlier so raised it 8 turns each coilover on the back a few pics...







The next job was something Greggsi had been going on at me to do since 2010! I had the box unopened since then and it probably is a marmite change but i thought i can always change it back if i don't like it..



As it was as it was in standard form...



Then removed ...



A comparison of the 2...



New one fitted...





I bought a new number plate lens and base from work to replace the 19 year old faded and discoloured one...

Before...



In progress...



Comparison between the 2...



New one fitted...



Couple of pics with new rear wiper and new number plate lens...





The last thing i did was fit a couple more clips to the underbonnet insulation as a few had gone missing, it was annoying me everytime the bonnet was up...

Before...



New clips...



Fitted...



*** 16/07/2012 VBOA Pics ***

Tom cooking some burgers fiday night in the tent, with it hammering it down outside lol!

Dont know how this pic happened!







The saturday morning...





Our CS marquee over the back...









A few of mine and gres corsa, as shaun etc... had done 1 while we having a shower at 4.30am lol!...









Tom, Just packed the tent away!...



Me, ready to go home, I would have stayed but had a christening to go to on sunday



As said not a performance update, yet... But a general tidy up, thanks for looking, opinions, any ideas appreciated...

Thanks for looking!

Cheers Faz, Yeah, change the exhaust is def on my to do list, want to get the management done first, but i will be going for a 3.5 inch outwardly rolled i would have thought.

I dont really want to colour code the door handles as I want to try and keep the exterior as factory looking as poss, i was thinging about having all the textured trim sprayed the same colour as the wheels, so boot lock surround small bits on mirrors, scuttle panel etc.. But again im unsure at the mo,

Great work as usual! Rear wiper looks more modern but can't work out if I like it that much smaller, could be because I'm comparing it to the old one in most of the photos as it looks good from the back in the billing photos

just keeps getting better adam. spoke to you at pvs about the sign on top off your car if you remember,

what about a whiteline arb or rear strut brace next to help the handling.

It does have them all Chris, I saw them in the back one PVS, I guess they're taken off in case someone comes by and decides that they want them
