let me know how this works out. I want to spray my grills black but wasn't sure how the paint would bite...seeing as it's damn near impossible to sand it down without sand-blasting it.

Cheers

I put them up as soon as I get it done but work everyday so far so can't get chance to travel. I'll put it up on this thread ;) for you

Was filling up the car in Folkestone Tesco thismorning and noticed both Tesco employees ,a blond girl and a bloke both looking at me ...Strange I thought ! When I went in to pay,the blond girl said they had been admiring my Car and how nice it looked. Well I did clean it yesterday .Nice though when you get comments like that :) And I thought my luck was in with the blond...!

Went for it's second service. They found the sump guard hanging off as the retainers had broken. Hopefully this was the cause of my strange rattle.

They also washed it after I'd previously said don't bother. Now got no wax left on it....grrr!

Had a run over to Lockwood International in Leeds today so that they could make sill moulds, as they're going to make sill protectors :).
I wasn't there as long as expected so I swung by HIDs-Direct on the way back and picked up some LED sidelights & LED number plate lights, then went home to fit them, as well as my HIDs that I already had.
No errors, and looking very nice! :)

Noticed some droning from the nearside rear tyre so went to the local fitters to have the wheel bearings checked. All ok in that respect (apart from a nail in one of the tyres) but as they were spinning the wheels up on the car the whole thing started vibrating.

They have a Hunter SmartWeight Balancing machine so checked them on that. All were out of whack (two seriously) and needed to reseated, rechecked and rebalanced.

All spot on now! :D

collected the leon from unit18, front ARB, new discs and braided goodridge hoses now installed. The brakes feel lovely (not hard as the last discs were warped) and the car feels nice and flat in the bends (FARB is set to medium, stiff setting induced too much understeer then snap oversteer). Will get a pic of the new discs up soon!
