You have to squeeze your hand down to find the long stud that holds it in place, you need a stubby 10mm spanner, ideally a ratchet type as the nut is a nyloc and fights all of he way:frusty:It is a twat to get to though and you'll end up losing some skin and/or getting bruises:headbonk:

Fwiw, I think it was worth it - looks much tidier now and prefer the tone now

I think it's one of those jobs I will let someone else do when it goes in for some work :lol:

Yesterday I removed my front bumper to fit the proper bottom grill, replace side light bulbs to led and fit black pony. Also replaced rear and side badges to gloss black. Tried plastidipping them but the stuff is horrible so ordered the correct badges.
Looks so much nice now. The front is really aggressive looking now.





Size of my head :lol:

Lots of pins when I looked at it, and a few awkward bolts nothing that you couldn't do yourself in a couple hours :thumbsup:

its easy but scary as you have to pull at it as its plastic clips, so if you go ape like on it then you could potentially break some, so easy but a little scary.

Just posted a video in your other thread.
It's pretty easy. I had someone help me as it's awkward refitting.
There are 2 7mm bolts in the wheel arch that a a bitch to get too.
If I was gonna do it again I would remove the front wheels.
Think it was back on with new grill and side light leds in a loud 2 hours so not too bad

About time I updated the thread although not much to add

Installed My Borla ATAK 3 inch axel back exhaust. It's fucking crazy loud and I absolutely love it.
Quick video of the 1st cold start after install.




Next up is full window tint and I have a spare steering wheel on its way to me to be sent to Royal steering wheels for a GT350 replica re trim.

That was you in the tunnel at Hindhead on Sunday wasn't it? That Borla is ridiculous! I wound the bloody windows up!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:
