If you need mesh for grills etc it's available from B n Q but get the alliminium, it's easy to shape,cut, etc,

The side cutting isn't really a problem but it's Deffo a case of measure, re measure, measure again then cut, :thumbs:

it will be a few weeks before I can take it to the garage for the fitting and respray so until then I got myself some jack stands and have a measurement/alignment check...

any ideea what works best to attach the wings? I am thinking some anchor bolts rather then rivets...but still searching...problem is most of the good products I find are in America.... :boat:

I'd drill the wings and then rivnut them, the wings could then be bolted on

You'd just need extra m6 rivnuts and some m6 bolts

haven't had the chance to measure them yet...I suspect the Brembos will need some clearance on a negative offset perhaps....but once I get the ball rolling will find out...starting probably first week in September :)

quick update,just ordered:

 

> a set of black adjustable rods for the splitter

> led lights RB set for the front bumper

> m6 high tensile black hex bolts

> rubber washers

> 3m automotive tape

 

test fitting some parts hopefully this weekend when will also get some pics up :)

 

Rivnuts are the best option, then buy some coloured button nuts to attach the over fenders, not cheap but will look good and allow for repairs easier. Got some sitting ready for my install =)

got a few ideas ;)

ok so this weekend I have the chance to start working on the car so:

 

took the front bumper off first

and then I started trying the fitment of the Rocket Bunny Kit

 

(remember no cutting has been done yet)

14159233_1076231919079128_1281578570_n_zpsknrp9xkr.jpg

 

then started to put the rivnuts in

and attach the front bumper using hex m6 bolts with rubber washers (will get another set of black steel washers as well to go on top of these ;) )

dropped the bonnet and...

so far it looks like the fitment is actually quite good with minimum touches required :)

 

good to have Mike (Veilside Z) and his son paying a visit today!

 

will get a few more updates tomorrow
