Well not much more done, as been busy driving it now, but like we all do we have teething problems, so i need so bushed for ARB's as there knocking a bit, so i think im going to replace every bush with Polybushes.

and going to replace the discs and pads as getting a juddering when braking at high speeds.

I was reading that because the GSR has the 3rd Brake light integral to the low level spoiler when standard. if the car was to be fitted with a FQ spoiler then it would need to have a different 3rd Brake light fitted as it could be a problem at MOT time. so i decided to fit a 9GT parcel shelf with the 3rd brake light, and do away with the horrible GSR ISOFIX pints and middle shoulder seatbelt, and replace it with a middle lapbelt instead.

Go to say it looks so neater :razz:

Also did a full oil and filter change while i had access to a pit and fitted a new positive battery terminal clamp as the old was was naff :/

and last but not least i bought this month Banzi mag and seen that my car was in the back in the Street Life section, so chuffed is the word im using :awesome:

Decided i didnt like the blue dash inserts so i sprayed them metallic black, IMO now the dash looks boring :ninja: think ill just get some MR carbon inserts :awesome:

Also iv been changing my dash lights to White with some T5 White SMD's.

So far i'v done the Ignition Barrel, Heater Controls, Ashtray, 12V Socket,

Im going to do my instrument panel, Fog Light, I/C Spray Switch, Wing Mirror Switch, with the smaller T3 SMD's for the full shab'ang

here is the link, they take about 3 weeks to come from China, so you will have to be patient, and they are pretty easy to do. as these are the bigger T5 bulbs

Well the days has come where i got my new wheels 18x9.5 ET30 rota GTR's in white running a 10mm spacers on both front wheels as a single 5mm was still too thin and the spokes was catching the calipers, so ET20 up front and ET30 on the rear.
Ill get some better pics up when iv give the car a good clean, But defiantly looks and handles sooo much better, and dont catch on full lock or going over bumps :awesome:
