    i just thought id post up some of the mods iv done lately and soon to be done

    i got my steering wheel re leathered cost me 330 but very worth it
    before



    after




    at first i only put one in but it just wasnt strong enough so a second was needed these were 40 bucks each from super cheap but make sure the packet still has the ball joints in because people steal them

    a much needed brake upgrade EBC drilled and slotted 280mm rotors green stuff pads rear dustless pads all up 500
    i dont think its a good idea if i run new brakes just before a cruise apparently they need 700 km to properly wear in


    also painted my calipers rears still need to be done though



    also took my rear wing off as usual it was grey and looked pox so i took info from bboyskidz DIY thread and went and bought some blanking gromets they didnt end up fitting
    so i shaved them in half with a sharp blade i used some special polyurethane mastik we make at work and stuck them on the inside of the window,
    also used the same stuff to fill the holes left in the window ironically its actually used to stick windscreens in place so its strong stuff

    why not just take it off and give it a decent coat of Forever Black or the ol' favourite Kiwi shoe polish. both have proved to work a treat!

    it'll look like new then.

    Steering wheel looks awsome, something I need to do as mine is getting very shabby!
    Rotors are the same as mine (but bigger!). So far so good but Im not a huge fan of the Greenstuff pads as they take some time to heat up before they work the best. Fine on a cruise, but first thing in the morning on the way to work it can get a bit scary!! Let me know how you go with that setup once its all bedded in and going nicely

    Good work mate, love the steering wheel! Are the calipers painted dark blue? It's hard to tell from the pics.

    Cos it's a different plastic to the exterior trim; it's much less porous so the shoe polish wipes on and wipes straight off. And leaves applicator marks everywhere

    Forever black will do the job, if I can ever be bothered to get around to it..
