Today's little task :

[G-Bob]

Great colour combination.......wonder where you got the inspiration from

Baby-puke is the new biscuit.

[LazyDonkey]

I like that! Mine is fcuked. Where, how much and will you fit mine

[Claws]

Gigo had set up a group buy with the manufacturer LMCorse, so that part was circa £90 in the group buy. Jonnyboy is their agent now through his hardtop company, he sells them for £99. Of course I'd fit it for you, as long as tea and biscuits were provided

[LazyDonkey]

I notice cf dash plates as well you cf whore !

[Claws]

I may also have a CF footwell divider and sill protectors...and I may have also purchased handle triangles in that group buy to replace my skanky "alcantaraonceuponatime" ones My centre console is in the same condition, so after that, I'll be done ...Unless I go for a pair of turbo splitters too...

Went a wee 240 mile drive today, it was pretty dark before I stopped for pictures, hence the over exposure/noisy picture and the effect.

[ghey] Good lad. Murrays called to say my car is ready. I'm not picking it up til Jan cos it's too cold and i'm going to be drunk or away (and drunk) for the next few weeks. Primera is nice and warm [/ghey]

The Super-shed has had a layer of ice or snow on it since the weekend and as long as it's this cold it's staying that way.

[LazyDonkey]

Super shed has a heater that works. You have no excuse.

Stunning mate! I love the bottom pic especially.

[Claws]

Cheers Craig, that's one of my favourites too Martin, I'll let you away with that one as it's on holiday with it's Lotus cousins, plus someone will be keeping an eye on it while you're away Great news that it's finished though, I'll need my chain done in the new year, it's over 80k now and 12 years old, it'll be fine till then...yip, totally fine Bob, you have a heater that you have to turn down, plus the homely feeling of wood trim! My heater worked great yesterday to be fair, it was baltic outside and still warm inside, even at speed!

you were definitely driving the VX yeah?

[LY_Scott]

I've said it before but the VX heater is one thing but its the bloody draft up the trouser leg that gets me.

Yeah, 100%, I know this because I had to move it to the feet vents as when it was on the windscreen it would cause the road spray to dry instantly on the screen and the poxy wiper struggled with clearing it after it as cooked on
Kudos to Lotus/Vauxhall though for keeping the car's weight down by using a thimble for the screenwash reservoir

That's to stop you falling asleep at the wheel once you find yourself cosy and super comfortable on a long motorway drive

I'll need my chain done in the new year, it's over 80k now and 12 years old, it'll be fine till then...yip, totally fine

Start saving now.......not a cheap piece of work! (another reason to not pick it up til Jan.....means i dont have to face the bill )

What is the damage LazyD? Im needing mine done in '13 too

Lovin the photos fella. We should get a photo session one weekend when the weather turns a bit brighter. We have an official photographer car now too, that can take all the gear, eh Bob?!?

Parts alone you're £331 from z22se for both chains. I've clouded the situation slightly with MMC as i'm getting a service new mirror attached,new arb bushes and my window fixed etc etc. Think Craig said they were allowing a day for the chains and it would work out about £550ish with winter prices..... haven't seen the bill yet but i'll be surprised if it's more than that. You could probably get it done cheaper but i know i'll be happy with the end result.

New mirror? Did tut steal the last one? The togs car is prepped and heated. I like the photos Mr Santa Claws but you are mental going out in this weather.
