More progress pics in this thread:

And the latest pics, after fitting the Hella spoiler but before I washed it...







Also colourcoded the Merc star as I had some paint left over.



Have a 3.0 lined up to go in soon, then it should be pretty sorted.

Was bored this afternoon so sprayed the grille.

Just need to sort those bogeyed wipers now....

[UberE500]

seriously what's up with the wipers?
looks good otherwise, but does need lowering

Fitted a set of smoked rear lights a while ago, and last week fitted a remus exhaust. Didn't like the chrome tailpipes, so sprayed them satin black..

Agreed, how is the Remus with the 2.6?

Not updated this in a while.

Recent work done:

New rear wheel bearings
Replaced all the fuels distributor and associated parts
K&N WAI
Lambda o2 sensor
Spark plugs

Took a video on the way home from the shops last night, you can hear the K&N WAI and remus pretty well (when the traffic clears).

Got a set of uprated bilstein dampers to go on with the lowering springs now.

Does any one know what size bolts hold the undertray on? I picked up one recently and want to fit it.
