Just got back from two cold months in the Falklands and I have come back to beautiful hot England and my car was ready to be collected from the paint shop. I am very happy, very happy indeed. Driving past shop windows is amazing!

Ill give it a bloody good wash and wax and get some SLR photos taken somewhere nice. Thanks to Mark for the wheels. a lot of the new bits are obvious but basically the front and back were badly fitted and rough now they are immaculate. And a bit of rust the size of a 50 p was cut out of the rear wing, the only rust found on the car or under! Brand new MOT on it and as before 430 fwhp, an absolute joy to drive.

4 new good Mark derby speakers to go in, strut brace to go on, looking at clutches and flywheels every day and still can't decide. Toying with the idea of D2s or K-Sports and I'll be dropping in on Mondo soon for some Alcantara rather than the fuzzy felt it has atm.

Looks very nice buddy.

Very nice Tom looks really nice, cant wait to see it in the flesh.

Nice red zed Tom enjoy mate.

Looks really good mate. You can't beat a red zed!

Looks real nice Tom

Looks really good mate, bet you are glad youve got the weather to enjoy her now you are back

Very nice mate !! Lovin the rims what's the make and name of them ?? Just need to get it out on the road and enjoy now :thumbup1:

Yeah I'm a happy man all be it with mega jet lag. The wheels mate are rota GTR s from mark derby 18 inch by 9 I think, 265s at the back. It is beautiful here I just got over my Falklands scurvy, I've gone from milk white to sunburn just done about 5 hours mountain biking eaten some fresh vegetables and had some real milk, I've been missing all of those things lol.

 

Thanks for all the comments guys Tomorrow it gets a good clean as there's quite a bit of rubbing compound and polish dust in the panel gaps.

Looking good :)

Looks well nice was it a full respray you had done as I am looking at getting mine done but was hoping I could get an idea on cost hope you get to enjoy it with this nice weather we are having

Looks great Tom. When you say the front and back were badly fitted do you mean the shut lines looked bad? The reason I ask is my front bumper looked pants when I got it so im wondering if it can be sorted

Looks good the white wheels really set it off.

It wasn't a full respray Karl, it was front and back with repairs, skirts off and on, underseal spoiler off and on. So just about but wasn't a glass out engine out job. It was 1100 pounds including mot. I got mates rates a bit because he's ex navy I'm RAF and I listened to some war stories, really nice bloke.

Eggs, the front bumper had nutted a speed bump at some point and pulled the front lower wings to bits. So it looked rough and I dropped off a 1 inch kerb but the back wheel fell into a drain and I cracked the back bumper and made that pull away at the wings. It can be sorted by a paint shop.

Thanks tom so it looks like it would be a £1500+ job then think I will blend in for now
