Wash video, plus some bits and bobs.
Ive recently hoarded a lot of stuff and made orders for a crapload of parts hopefully coming in future videos.

Backboxes. coilovers, intake, tints, new brake lines, front splitter, spoiler, LED kit, more new badges and some trim bits, oh and a new ZHP gear knob etc...
Not sure what I can get away with installing at home but will certainly give it a shot :D

Driving video with thoughts on the new tyres and generally talking about some stuff. Loads of work has been done on it since the video with more coming in the next week or so.



Stuff done/waiting which will be in future vids, recently had the brake lines redone, got hold of a set of Powervalve backboxes and new stainless exhaust fixings and new hangers, installed 12mm spacers all around, got the CDV removed, Gruppe intake has been dispatched, new ZHP knob has arrived along with an M3 strut brace and rear strut reinforcements. Some new interior trim bits and a brand new aerial assembly (the old wasn't sitting right). Cleaned the front lights and indicators, new indicator and rear badges, also fixed the rear badge assembly sitting weird. New reg lights/assemblies and replaced the weather sealing around the lower doors.

Also ordered an interior LED kit from Horizon LED's, recorded content on it and did the install only to find they didn't send the complete set, they never responded to my emails/contact so had to file a chargeback, that and their LED's started smoking after a week of use, replaced them with some Amazon units that were both better and have outlasted them... so yeah stay clear of Horizon LED's, poor quality kit and garbage customser service.
