Ok..I thought I'd list what I've done to my car whilst it's been tucked away over the winter.
1) Front end respray (Bumper, Wings and Bonnet) . There were a load of quite deep stone chips so,it's really did need it.
2) Andoid Head Unit - (HL-8815GB) - The previous owner had already replaced the garbage PCM unit...but Im a big fan of the factory looking stereos, especially the Andoid variant. This is the 3rd one I've fitted
3) Sport Design Steering Wheel - again the previous owner had replaced the stock wheel with a Gen2 PDK, but I do like the sport design wheel.
4) Wheels - the car came with lobster claws..which I think look great...but as im an habitual wheel changer I put 20" Turbo II's on. Whilst they looked OK it was a mistake. I could feel the weight difference on acceleration...handling was ok and maybe better on turn in due more rubber. However...I've replaced them with a set of black 19" sport design wheels which I've had refurbed. I now need a couple of PS2's for the front two.
4) Brake calliper refurb. The previous owner looks to have had a go themselves...didn't looked great so I've got them booked in for a refurb and repaint. I thought about yellow..as I like the colour..not to pretend I've got PCB's..however because of that perception I'll keep them red.
5) Topg gear Exhaust - I've brought the valued vaviant with the 200 cell cats to replace my Danks super sound which is a little to Lairy for me..my neighbours in the village hate me...I do however like the over run on it but the flexi's have gone, so it had to be replaced. Fitting tomorrow.
6) And finally....a detailer is offering a special offer of full paint correction and detail with a Cermic coat so,this is booked in for the beginning of March
All of this in time for a couple of forum runs to Scotland in March an April
I'll post some pics at some stage.
