Same paint, different decals. I figured £35 for decals was rather rich.  I may regret it, however new decals on fresh paint should bond pretty damn well so peeling shouldn't be a problem and I won't lacquer following the BCS advice for the reasons on their website.  I'm not planning to do track days or thrash the car down the Stelvio Pass so heat is highly unlikely be an issue to degrade the vinyl.  I ordered some spare bleed nipples too in case of problems or at least to make them look fresh as  well.

Ordered the same stuff the other day, already have some decals stashed 👍🏼
What’s the best for prepping before hand, I assume you want to strip as much as the paint / decal that’s already on there?

Super video! 
Have you or anyone managed to wire them up to the factory heated seat buttons?

Fitted new coffin arms up front and new sway bar bushes. Feels completely different - in a good way!

I've just fitted the under bumper air deflectors and rubber lips with new speed nuts and stainless steel screws.  Really simple job, only needs a PH2 screwdriver, 8mm socket and a torch 😀

Part numbers for anyone needing them:

Deflectors - 996.504.503.00 & 996.504.504.00

Rubber lips - 996.504.603.00 & 996.504.604.00

No.10 (4.8mm) speed nuts (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163062187617)

No.10 x 5/8" (4.8mm x 16mm) A2 flange head self tapping screws (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361063732473)

The plastics were £67.34 from OPC Perth and the fasteners were cheap off ebay.  You need 6 nuts and 6 screws.

Do these make a notable difference? Mine have been destroyed in a previous life 🤬

Began to take the exhaust of the get the Pedro mod done. 

Realised I was probably opening a massive can of worms from looking at all the rounded nuts and bolts and the state of the current back box 😞 2 new exhaust clamps later and it’s all back together. Sigh. 

On to eBay to look for a back box 🥳🤩

Went out for the first time this year, and it pis*ed it down 🙄

taken my seats out to fit heated elements, made £1.22 back on my purchase!!

 

The boys weren't helping that much though!!

 

Nicky, 

How’s the fitting going? Is there a how to you followed or is it just some common sense, wouldn’t mind having a go!

Drained the coolant. Unfortunately missed the poorly placed bucket underneath! 

Doh! ?

Washed her this morning and took the opportunity to try out the soft top sealant with the hose ?? Patted dry with a towel after and is still bone dry

Ordered new wheel bolts, the old ones weren't looking so good and can't stand that. Also, they'll of been over tightened most of their life after the various tyre fitters have done their work. I've never had my car back with properly torqued wheel bolts let along the correct tyre pressures.

A little tip from the seller I got mine from was to polish them up with Autosol to give them a shine! Ended up looking loads better,
