well the addiction to put your foot down will allways reduce the mpg

my screen is missing a few pixels so its hard to read but does not seem to move from around 29

Todays jobs:
Fit wind defectors
Fit mud guards

Too dark for pics but happy

Back in for re-test Monday afternoon

cjdonny · 13th January 2014, 16:25

now with a new 12month ticket

poor light but deflectors and mud guards fitted

cjdonny · 24th January 2014, 20:03

well got the lower engine mount to fit,was hoping this w,end but its going to be a wash out

also wanting to paint the calipers but im not sure what to go for Violet on a silver car

looks like they have been done gold at some point?

replaced all the front bumper bolts with a nice new shiney set

also found out my Balance vis motor has had it so i need to get that off at the weekend to send of to Dave

Also for some reason on the old advisory sheets from a few years ago it says rusty rear box?

so i had some chrome silver paint in the garage touched it up looks like new

i see you have the brembo covers often thought about them and wondered if any good and easy to fit? look really clean and better than painted ones do. are they an easy fix and what about changing the pads later do they come off easy without breaking them/
cheers

cjdonny · 3rd February 2014, 10:01

These are painted

Brembo stickers

falcoron · 3rd February 2014, 10:20

oh right! opps, look good though. i have paint bought for mine but they need a hell of a lot of cleaning and prep work first.

cjdonny · 3rd February 2014, 10:36

I know what you mean with the covers
But carnt help think how hot brakes get
And as you say when it comes to changing the pads

Wire brushed mine and 3 coats

falcoron · 3rd February 2014, 11:48
