Dave6188 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Have you ever had a standard Strut Brace chromed Mark ? I have been quoted £100 to have it done but think it's a bit steep. Nice work btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Keep looking at those Bonnet struts Mark ... From having none and the silly rod for the last few years, then actually getting some fitted for me, and to top it having them colour co.ordinated as well. One spoiled lad. Thank you so much again Mark I can certainly see the effort since seeing you last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave6188 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 ^ By the look of it he has left it on and carefully masked around it, could be wrong but pretty sure that's what he has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep you could be correct there .... Close inspection looks like it is still on..... I ASSUMED Mark had taken it off and that was just paper to protect the area....

veilside z Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) As Mark said, a few more added extras tomorrow then its back off to bed for a year. What a Fantastic Transformation he has done for me, although the photos are great , the bay is much more dramatic in the flesh. I arrived to take some more parts earlier only to find Sharon, Mark's significant other polishing all my car up. Bless her what a lovely job too as the paint especially the carbon bonnet, was dull and flat. A totally dedicated lovely couple with an eye for detail.
