Chirag1988's Build Thread - service update


Recommended Posts

So I've been a bit busy with zeditis today :)

 

First a quick clean after the saharan rain sandstorm

Then got to work on something which I'd been putting off for a longgg time! Changing my cardholder over to a cupholder

 

Removing the cardholder - what a PITA!

Finally got it out

Next I undid the two 10mm bolts, one where the cardholder sits and one where the power outlet is at the bottom. Then started unclipping the lower dash carefully - luckily no broken clips! :yahoo:

Removed the housing for the cardholder

Welcome cupholder :p

All fitted nicely and put back together

Hopefully have one more thing to add later this evening - *hint* it's drying :teeth:

I forgot to add that over the weekend I met up with Tinyflier who I bought the aluminium kickplates from and he gladly fitted them for me too :)

Just gives it that premium feel I think. Don't know why Nissan didn't have these as standard, just another money making scheme!

And that's me done for now, bay-wise. I'm sure I'll find something else to paint orange ;)

 

Comments and criticisms welcome :)

Will wait a bit to save up some funds as some w*nker keyed my bonnet last month so need to get that sorted at the same time. Whilst I'm at it I'll be looking to get the front end resprayed, mines lip colour coded along with side steps too.

 

Hopefully before the end of the year though!

That's right! Genuine Chargespeed rear bumper! No replica shizzle!
