Tornado red 16v ABF jenveys

After a long long search for some decent original bumpers with good textured part I have bought some aftermarket ones!

Get them painted yesterday and just need to give them a flat and polish then they can be revealed! I must say I'm quite impressed and until some originals turn up if ever I'm very happy with the results

 

Wise words

will get post out today to you

 

But not this universe not this you

Welcome

 

Boring one grommet fitted to rear panel



Front bumper



Fog lights fitted



Bumpers are now fitted more pics to follow

 

What technique did you use to get the lower splitter thing on the front bumper. i did mine last year and it took me hours to get it on and i really messed the plastic clips up. or is it just a PITA job??

 

Took two of us a bit off time, but the key is to do one at a time

A rubber mallet did come in handy! As well as hook tools

 

Started on my wiring loom for the emerald ecu, I bought a Audi loom for a few quid then cut the loom off so I've got injector plugs, Tps, iat and coil on plug etc



Took me about 2 hrs to get this far but I had pinned a few wires and traced the wires back first



I phoned emerald as I have an M3DK ecu but it was running cop before I bought it but they don't have a record of this one being upgraded so took a bit of sussing out

 

As you can see in the pics I've got an AEM afr gauge that I'm going to fit to keep an eye on things

 

Another boing update but it's an update!

Pinned the rest (most) of the terminals into the ecu plug, just need to pin the earth and positive feeds and get my trigger wheel sorted

 

Tailgate finally built up, roof gutters fitted, outer scrapers and robbed the mirrors off the grey one

Ordered a new genuine set of plastic arches today as I'm fed up trying to find any decent second hand ones was a dent in the pocket!

 

I bought a new set of arches 12 years ago, only to get a new set of G60 give to me
So they are in the loft never fitted ..may go back to them one day... on the up side only 150 back then

 

Couple of pics, nearly there





Fitted the bonnet catch tonight so once the number plates go on it can go for an MOT

I was thinking German style without logo or GB just a border

 

Tis Beautiful

 

Thanks, Not quite up to your standard yet! Got to fit badges etc and needs a full valet

 

Number plates ordered which should be here midweek, new bulbs fitted in all the lights, just need to get the wiper arms painted and on and I think it can actually go for its first MOT in about 7 years

I feel nervous about driving it TBH! As it's only ever been driven about 50 yards in first and second around the yard in the time I've had it!

 

Don't be nervous, it's not like it's a valuable blue or white one. Just make sure you don't scrape the gate on your way out otherwise you'll devalue the gate.

 

Lol ...What a nasty man
