DILLIGAF?: Project Ratty
-
Looks like my instrument panel is being removed again.
As for the dimmer if it does not bother you, join the wires on the back of the dimmer panel and that will short it out so the LED's wont blow.
Led's do have a short life on a rheostat as they are not designed for fluctuating currents, its the same as energy savers and dimmers at home

Some people might think me a little odd in doing what I've just done (my girlfriend in particular).
I've replaced my half leather rear seats with some cloth ones thanks to Famine. I'm not a fan of the half leather seats and they were looking a little tatty in my mind (they are up for sale if anyone is interested, PM me).
I also salvaged the number plate mount from Famine and half the front lip. Once again, my girlfriend thinks the number plate mount looks horrible but I think it looks better than having bits of tape showing. I'm going to match it to the colour of the bumper.
I was out this morning when a parcel came so can't get it until monday and I'm hoping it will be Ryans front lip. Once I get it I'll be sorting it out and spraying both halves and fitting them with the Leon splitter also.
-
Little update. I've got my splitter primed and test fitted with the Leon splitter.
These are the two halves I got from Famine and Ryan (cheers guys, you're awesome)
Prepped, primed and fitted (using zip ties :lol:)
Just needs some slight adjustment on the Leon splitter and paint.And here's my speedo so far, I need to adjust the positioning of some of the bulbs because there is a dull patch on the centre dials where the light isn't getting through.

NO! It's mine! lol :lol:
Crack away mate, I've still got a lot more to do on it to make it how I want it. I'm thinking of getting both splitters bonded and smoothed together to make them one, looks like a trip to a body shop may be in order.

lol thanks

Looking well. :) Did my packaging put up much of a fight? :lol:

It would have been a bitch if I didn't have a very sharp knife :lol:
I'm just waiting for someone to give me an idea of a price to blend both together and sort out the front end of the car :twisted:

Sprayed up the splitters this afternoon

It's all right isn't it, I'm quite chuffed (just don't look too closely :wink:
I think the next step is to cut the bottom part of the bumper out and possibly mesh it.
-
In the photos it looks mint. Could always try photo shop to experiment how the bumper might look.

Good idea and I think I'll definitely be doing it judging from this quick PS I did

Just had a look and there's a few cars breaking (& a guy breaking 5 NX's :shock: ) you could nab the skirts from any of them. I'd suggest signing up though, because I wouldn't know where Redcar is in relation to the NX's for breaking.
