Removed my NB's front lip that I nearly ripped off on a car park gutter a few weeks ago, removed the old tape and residue (what a PITA that was!), re-taped and refitted.

Gave up on the idea of fixing all the stone chips and scratches :roll:

No longer dangling by the screws and no gaps anywhere ... nice tight fit :)

The LED's light fills the assembly rather nicely and unlike some of the other units that I researched show RED rather than pink and all illuminate at the same time. Very nice bit of kit and well made. A quick look show prices at about $55.00 a pair.

When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

Decided to do the ol' check fenders for rust this arvo. I was amazed how much dirt and old leaves etc were in there. Cleaned it out as much as I could and luckily there was no rust :D in the drivers side anyway. Have to do the passenger side fender tomorrow.

Shift it from the driveway into the garage with storm clouds looming in the distance.

Negative horsepowers! Weighs more than the stock one... fortunately it came with a sticker which makes up for the loss!

Fitted my my MX5 Mania rear chassis brace, which I got off Ebay for $22 delivered. I don't have to repair the cusco one that I broke now. If anyone wants it, come with a six-pack & pick it up. It only needs welding. See 2nd pic.

A day late...

Took it into Automotive Plus to get a suspected exhaust leak fixed.

Suspicion was correct, and Jason called me once they'd finished the diagnosis to let me know what the go was! (First time I've EVER received this service from a mechanical place)

Gaskets are ordered (will take a while unfortunately), and Maniac will be back there once they've arrived to make her all better. 8)
