Went to scrappy aswell and picked up a laguna vented front splitter, needs a good clean. Might buy some bump strip black spray from halfords:

Look great Chris,
Everything your doin is the same as im doin to mine, only in a slightly different order.
Did your front springs settle anymore on the front ? have not ordered mine yet but was thinking 50's now.
also i have a front lip that is nearly a perfect fit.... CRX v tec front lip
when my other arrives, i can offer you this if your interested ...i will PM a picture.
I prefer the red bonnet
lookingg good bud

Cheers bud, much appriciated

Any idea on a decent rear lip? do you know if crx ones fit? I cant find a 4g VT one on the net

Seriously thinking about removing the muds flaps tomorrow

Re suspension: front has settled a little, if you going for 50/60 mill id say get the chamber adjusters aswell. With the 40 mill kit my chamber is only about 1 degree negative which is pretty good considering its lowered.

I'll keep you updated on the settling in a few weeks

Gave up on the rocker cover for tonight, cleaned polished my old oil cap up instead:

Its old and a little tatty but should look good with freshly spayed rocker

Gave up on one rocker i started scrapping down, went and bought some nitromors and started on the other one:

Nitromors is the shiz!

Anyone got any tips on removing the darker grimeyer looking bits, mainly round spark plug cover area?

You could maybe try some fine grade wet and dry sand paper ?

rocker finished:

new rear bumper:

new front bumper:

T cutted them both, but the top of the front one is still a little faded, so ive bought some mat black spray to spray the bump strips and top of bumper.

Thats about it for the minute, plans have been put on hold after i realised my tax return is due by 31st and owe quite abit, also found out my mot ran out on 10th which is more money lost

i thought it was due in march!
