My 2.2 vti 5th Gen

Thanks for all the comments everyone. Much appreciated.

Perhaps I should start a line in the DOHC Badges. They are made from an aluminium foil stuff rather than vinyl.

I have been out on the car since 8am this morning and it is starting to take shape now. One side and the rear is all back together. I have replace all the old bolts holding the wings etc on with nice shiny stainless
rounded allen bolts and stainless washers

Glued the windows back in and they seem to have gone OK. Hopefully they won;t fall out when I drive it

Managed to get the drivers door hung and back together. And then realised I hadn't changed the lock over and had to take it all apart again. Deep Deep Joy

I have got to paint the sideskirts when I do the bootlid. I wanted to see if they looked ok in carbon. They Don't. So they will be going white as well.

Anyway - onto the pics. Take special note of the tidy workspace

brilliant matey the skirts would look cool carbon only if all the lips match

Remove the CF wrap. It spoils it in my opinion.

But the car in white looks lovely.

The boot wrap is going for sure as are the sideskirts.

I might paint the bonnet white and the roof gloss black - not sure yet - I am gonna see what it looks like finished first.

Remove those buddy. They just hold in dirt and wetness = rust.

You can use underseal instead and Bilt Hamber now do a clear underseal for those arch lips.

I did wonder but I have put them back on for now as I don't want my nice perfect arches chipping

Do you just paint/spray the clear stuff on? Just mask up around it?
