I'd imagine he ment rubber,

You tie it between the axle and exhaust so it doesn't knock, or at least you don't hear it knock

Yeh rubber. O_o iPhone auto correct man lol. Or just put some ct1 in the axle under te pipe that's easier

Spent this morning aligning the bonnet properly as it still wasn't right before, happy with it now.

Then cleaned the car and got some nice photos

next to current wheel



Will get it on ASAP

I loved mine but I didn't have power steering so turning in a car park when stood still was hard haha

I had such a fart on removing the old wheel because it's on a taper do my best advice to you is to break it do not hit the thread as I did and it tooke 2 hours to get them to catch on the bolt. Don't forget to put the spring back in before the wheel!! And to break the taper put a larger size long reach socket over the treads to touch the bottom and wack if as hard as you can a few times. Then recline your chair back out your feet on the dash and tug as hard as you can.leave the bolt on a bit so you don't catapult back. It's a badger to get off on a b haha

Thanks for the tips mbonner02, havent attempted putting in on yet

Cheers Kieran , happy with how the interior has come on just want to put my wheel in now.

Not that many future plans for the car to be honest, get my wheel on... paint arches and the tops of the bumpers gloss black and maybe a few other bits

[CORSABM8]

Nothing major but got a few little bits for my car given to me for my birthday today.

Opel keyring



New air freshener





Got a new LED boot bulb to match the rest of the interior ones, old orange bulb..





new blue led one







then cleaned the car.

I'll give you a million yen for the first aid kit

[KieranKizzyjones]

Love it...live it

[CORSABM8]

Bought some arches that have already been professionally smoothed an painted, currently are Arden blue but will be going Gloss black. Bought these as it will save me the time and hassle of removing the texture from mine.

Also got some high build primer.



16/5/15
Arches and primer arrived earlier in the week, and got some gloss black paint and lacquer from halfords

Only got two done today, will be doing the others when its dry again.

when they arrived...



removing the glue at the bottom from where he had the skirts was a nightmare

First one done..































second one done.





hopefully wont be long before i can do the others.

17/5/15

Got the front bumper off ready to be prepped and painted this morning







got a spare pop spec bumper to go on in the meantime as i need to drive the car daily to get to work





some pics of it back together.







not nice enough weather to paint today but might start prepping the bumper and other arches, leaving the rear bumper till last.

That's the thread all up to date now, pants at updating this on here always forget
