Oh lordy that S90 wheel looks amazing!

What about the Brembo's that Shem's got? - don't know if they'll fit without spacers though...

That kit is an option, but I'm not a huge fan. It's a bit 'cheap' really, And the pad area doesn't cover the disc. I'm not sure how effective they are tbh.

hi here's the pics i promised not the best hope this helps

[AndysR]

Nice easy fix for the boost fault, it's good when they're not grief to find. Paintwork has come up well even with the photos you've taken you can tell and it's nice to see the white paint shining again. Looking forward to seeing some finished shots out in the shine where it can really shine..

Have you also got the piece around the gearstick/windows switches etc

The only way you can get the trim around the gear stick is for one of these

Thanks for the pics, but without the lower part, I could use it anyway. Thanks though.

Thanks matey. She will be as clean as your motor I tells ya! (but with less stick on stuff )

[S70T5Chris]

Bagged an 18t today

[Jamest5r]

I'm so not gonna be able to afford this car when your bored of it but 1st dibs

[S70T5Chris]

I think I'll run with the 18t on the standard engine. And then see where I go from there. 'IF' I go down the route of forging the engine (which I'm probably gonna!!), I may see if Owens can do anything with the 18t.

looks like its going to end up a nice R when done chris i have the bc coilovers on my car and polys seem to be a good combo too keep up the great work

Spent the last 3 hours polishing. Still not finished the passenger side yet!

It's had some iffy paintwork on the rear quarter. Can't really tell if I'm gonna be happy with it or not, the light in my workshop is ££££!

And starting to compile a list of little dings that I'm spotting as I'm working my way round. Anyone recommend anyone in the south that's good at that sort of thing?

As Jim says, he did a cracking job for me last year when he did the VAG's alloys.

[S70T5Chris]

Managed to finish the passenger side this evening, minus the side skirt. I could do with a bit of sunlight, so I can have a proper ganders at how the paint work looks. It's hard to tell if I'm gonna be happy with the rear quarter or not!

I forgot a decent camera again, so grabbed a spot light to see if I could get a better picture of how good the paintwork is starting to look.






Get more done tomorrow with a bit of luck!
