PAU61L recently noticed I didn't have any front mudguards and offered up a pair for sale.

Original plan was to spray them myself (they were black), but just for s&g I ran past a body shop and enquired.

They said they'd sand them down and paint them for $30. Sold. They did a better job than I could have!

Thanks to PAU61L for spotting the gap on my car... and having something to fill it :)

The piano back dash is a bit worn on Scarlett, so I'm going to get it painted in copper red.

Pulled it off today. Took about an hour, taking my time and reading instructions from a variety of sources.

If I was going to walk outside and do it again from scratch, maybe 20 minutes, tops. It's not a hard thing at all.

Will post when I get the parts back and re-installed in her. Coloured dash panels look the dogs bollocks on NCs.
