Now it's been a little over a month since the last "update" but during that month, a bit has been going on with the car... and the wheels

I've had the faces of the RS's powder coated (colour TBA) and shall be picking them up tomorrow. The barrels of the wheels have been fixed; no more cracks, flat spots and they've been painted also. The lips, bolts and hexes are still somewhere in the magic land of "shipping" and they're the only things holding back this build BUT hopefully I'll have them in by tomorrow and the wheels built by Friday.

I got annoyed with having really foggy and dirty indicators so I did some cheapbay shopping and bought some new clear indicators. I made the mistake of buying American indicators but that was all good - nothing a little brute force and pair of pliers couldn't fix when "fitting" them into the bumper.



A few days later another package came and I thought it was hide time... Got my wiring loom all sorted and Voila! Proper working fog lights! They blew on my the other night but it's all good - was just the fuse, not some dodgy wiring job.



This morning I decided I'd paint the brakes black because why not, and I also fixed up the peeling patch of clear on my hatch.



And this is how she looks now




PS - had to raise the car to 100mm to pass rego/aide in the fitting of wheels later this week.

Until next time, happy scraping (or lack there of)!
