this first one is behind/ beneath the stereo. Anyone know what it does or where it's meant to be connected?

 

 

 

This one I found amongst a bunch of lights. Nit got a clue what it is lol... Only thing I can think of is a this in the doors, like a window thingy

 

 

 

how spooky I was going to post the exact same post

Black box is the rear tail light sensor, normally found behind the drivers side plastic in the boot. The connector from under the stereo looks similar to the clock plug or to the auto selector.

Ah, I don't have the clock anymore so that'll probably explain that!

 

Graham your so helpful, thanks

No worries Lee, hows it going with the car, manage to sort the manifolds?

Yeah mate, actually in my car this year :)

The garage in scotland were useless, I eventually took it to Phil in Manchester (should have known to go there first tbh) and he sorted it out so I have pentroof style manifolds on it now, nice tubular things.

 

It's going down to be mapped by john dixon on September 1st unless he drops me in it for some reason (I hope not).

 

The only problems I seem to have at the minute is the windscreen washers, the fog light seem to not be working for some reason or other.

 

On a plus side I've done a couple of jobs lately.

 

So today I have sorted the back lights out...

From this

 

To this

 

Also did these the other day...

From this

 

To this

Thanks mate. I have big pace side mount intercoolers so can't get in from the light. Will have to see if I can get in from the wheel arch :-/

Is it painted yet?

No :huh: but will be at the end of the month, im re prepping the body and primer, im doing the door shuts under bonnet and hatch and if i feel the finish wont be up to par in my unit, then it will go to a mates paint booth for the final coats of 2k :thumbup:

I cant go another year to JAE in primer lol, will be embarrassing, i want to polish it for the first time in two years instead of rubbing it down :biggrin:

You have done a good job on them window trims Lee. What did u use that plasticdip stuff?

Mine with it being a slicktop are just one piece and I regret disturbing and removing mine as I cannot get them to go back as they were, so if I was you mask up.

I did it with plastidip and used the primer too. They have actually started to harden reall. Nice now as well. I'll take some more pictures when I get a chance.

 

Also I took mine off completely. Wasn't too hard at all to be honest. Found they slid out fairly easy but harder to put back in. So ended up putting in the platic bit (long stop under the bits you actually see) then purring it back on the car. Only learned the easy way after getting it wrong a couple of times.

I know mate, sorted my back lights out finally too. I'm also going to get it mapped on 01/09 ai hoping it'll be running nicely at jae.

Just want to sort my front wing now which is fine, just I can see the colour mis-match which is doing my head in.

 

Not too sure what I want to do after that. The side skirts aren't too great so maybe them as they are pretty much the only thing letting it down now.

 

I also want to install my carpc but I don't know where to start so have left it alone lol

Good job on the rear lights! I have the same problem - may I ask how you fixed them?
