If you wana fit the early spec sidelights it needs a bracket that connects or goes around the headlights that they screw into on the outside I remember when helped GHOST on here fit CRX front end on to his early spec noticed the bracket thing the sidelights were fitted to

ask Walsh123 he's got an early spec GL should be able to she'd more light if its possible or not

I fitted an early spec to a later GL without changing any brackets, barring swapping the bumper bar from the GL onto the early bumper.

What did you screw the sidelights into matt ?

I'm sure early spec sidelights screw on from the outside and the late spec ones slide in and screw in under the bonnet ?

I'm not swapping the sidelights, only the front bumper

Fitted my early spec bumper today, needs a re-paint and a drivers side indicator lens but I'm happy with it! Looks a lot better than the late spec! Need a lip for her too!

To do list:
Fit drivers side seat
Change CV boot
Bleed brakes
Get some bulbs
Tax her

After all that she's ready to roll for JAE

Few more ticks off the To do list today;

CV boot on and driveshaft in...I bloody hate those shaft bearings!
Front traction bars on
Wheels stripped for paint
Brakes bled
Painted my AEM V2 satin black as it was scrappy and red, didn't look good in the bay. Will be replaced with an Integra DC2 setup once the battery is re-located.

Also gave Neil Pascoe's immaculate OEM late spec EG6 VTi a good wash and polish (This is what we are taking to JAE as I won't be able to take the GL :(

Sprayed my AEM V2 satin black as it wasn't in a good way before. Not too keen on the look but it'll do until I can re-locate my battery and put my DC2 intake back in.

I'm afraid not, I was banned from driving 19 months ago and made to re-take my tests. Theory was booked for the 5th but had to move it to the 10th due to my grandad passing away (funeral is the 5th) highly doubt I can get a practical booked for the day after awhich is also the day before JAE. Unfortunate timing but it can't be helped I'm afraid!

Got myself a Nardi Torino for the GL, little worn but I'm still happy! Will do until I can afford the Personal Grinta I'm after!

And a Kanjo mask for when I'm being naughty ;)

Fecking cat is such a pest -_-

That's all for now but there will be LOTS of updates after JAE! Including new wheels, chargespeed spoiler and more!

My chargespeed finally arrived after a long wait, got it fitted easily as the seller included the original spoiler it was attached to so it was just a case of swapping them over. Needs a paint and a minor correction to one corner where it sits flush with the roof but I love these wings so I'm very happy!
