this is what it looked like it was actually resting on the plastic shield,

got to it just in time :cool:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1050.jpg
pulled it out as much as i could to see what i had to play with
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1051.jpg
cut a notch out so the loom would run along the lip
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1052.jpg
then treated and fiberglassed around the cut metal so it was in no danger of sharp edges cutting into the loom,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1053.jpg
undersealed everything while i was at it
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1054.jpg
and tied it up with the largest zip tyes i could find :p
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1055.jpg
thats how it should have been done from the factory Nissan :)
where i had cut the notch sits nice :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1056.jpg
had to run the bonnet cable under the lip as there wasnt enough slack to bring it over,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1057.jpg
throwing on the wing i found out i had over done it :mad: the wing wouldn't go back on ... so had to adjust the loom again until it would stop fowling the wing,
still its out of harms way so i gained a good bit of extra clearance.

Dropped the seats in to be retrimmed in the new Bride material Today so ill be waiting 2 weeks :p
then my new lips arrived this morning :o
wasted no time stripping two old wheels and sticking them on :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1071.jpg
turns out my old wheels where 18x9 not 18x9.5 so overall width are 18x10.5 now not too crazy up front ;)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1072.jpg
old vs new
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1073.jpg
test fit :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1075.jpg
going to be looking for 5" or 5.5" inner barrels so ill be able to run more camber if needs be

have 30mm front overs ordered but i think ill be putting them up for sale as soon as they arrive as i will unfortunately be needing 50 mm,
was hoping to stay with only 30mm overs front and rear as i dont like the look of the 50mm overs they bulge too much and ruin the whole look of the car,
so over the next few days im going to have to decide to stick with the plan and run with the comming 4" lips for the rear, or put these on the rears and just run 3" lips up front, and squeeze them under 30mm's
anyone interested in 4" lips if i decide to do that? let me know
First off got Genuine Ganador Mirrors :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1089.jpg
spryed them up and stuck them on :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1090.jpg
Delighted with them,
then Coulour choice on the wheels where wrecking my head, was going to go with gold or Bronze centers, but thinking that they may cheapen the look of the car i played it safe and went silver,
first dark silver
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1106.jpg
but was unhappy so back to halfords again for another shade of silver
and shating,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1137.jpg
very happy :)
then polished my bolts, left them on coke for 2 days,
broke down alot of gunk off them,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1135.jpg
then wire brushed them,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1134.jpg
then polished the Feckers right up
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1136.jpg
4 hours for 80 bolts :/
so puting these two back together tomorrow and onto the next two, i will be happy to see the back of these wheels, pain in the ass :)
What do you mean you left the bolts in coke? Like coca cola?? Might sound stupid , but I'm just wondering .Quote:

Yea, Coca Cola I'd say, if you ever saw a tooth left in it for a day you'd see how good it is at dissolving stuff.Quote:
