Let me know where you are at on the track. We're right on Eau Rouge, I think it's classed as gold 2.

Gman are you heading home after F1 or to the Ring as it is a mere 1hr 30 mins away

We have discussed it....the current plan is to just go home - I don't think our VW Golf hire car would be much fun on the Ring.

Are you heading over?

 

[dotty]

Yes. I'll be at the Ring until Wednesday.

Someone told me summer was on it's way so wanted to get some sticky tyres! Went for some Toyo 888's in the end as have used and liked them before. Got a bit carried away and ordered some matt black Team Dynamics pro race 1.2's to put them on as well

Front lower lip off this morning, ready to get prepped for a respray. So many stonechips and scratches it was starting to drive me nuts, it really let the front end down.

Gonna fit it while I've got the lower lip off mate. Once it is cleaned up and resprayed, I'll fit the rubber stripping as it will be easier. I'll get some pics as soon as it is finished bud

Absolutely loving that mate, was looking in to one for myself where did you source yours from ? (Pm if want) did you have to remove alot behind ?

 

[Chelt_scene]

I also hope it's a motor one not Manuel?

 

[TyperItr]

Thats the best numberplate holder i have seen yet. Also confused with that spike that looks to be sticking into the middle of the plate??

Yes, ive cut about 1/4 of the centre plastic thing along with the sections that the OEM plate holder screw onto. If you look just above the number plate you can make out where those parts were.

I bought it from BoltsBolts a trader on Civiclife but just google BoltsBolts and im sure their website will come up, both very good guys. Answer to 2nd question is above ^^

I also hope it's a motor one not Manuel?

Unfortunately not dude :xno: reason being is that the motorised one is longer (due to motor) so it sat about 5mm away from the radiator. Removed it as i didn't want to risk some knob reversing into my car and doing damage. No worries though, i'll just fit it to my dads 300zx...if it fits lol

Its part of the bumper but iv had to cut a bit off to fit the plate flipper thingy lol

 

[mike.williams]
