Nice work, William. thumbup Really like how you fiber glassed the housings in your clam for the lights. More functional than the M400 setup with thin plastic covers that are difficult to remove for bulb replacement, and easy to break.

Is this something you had done professionally or something you did yourself. If professional I would be interested myself.

Thanks

I like the 3rd brake light, wish they'd come with one from the factory.

No joy selling it on eBay then.

B. It took my Mate 267498606984387237 hours to do @ cost of 1750 with painting

No mate, You have to wire seperate fogs up.
Im about to do that part, Going to place something
nice behind the rear intercooler grill or I might wire the
inner light to be the fog as only the outer light is a light
and brake and iner is just light.

be careful, upgrading from a 5spd to 6spd is quite a bit of work

missed the last few posts... have you upgraded to a 6 speed box already? I did the conversion a couple of years back (5 speed to 6 speed).

You need a quite a list:
New starter
New clutch
New release bearing
New engine mounts all round (I made 2 of them, bought 1 and retained the power steering 5 speed one)
new gearchange cables.. although I recomend you go whole hog and get the M400 kit

you can keep your existing flywheel smile... worth mentioning I have a spare 2nd hand clutch, starter and release bearing.

if youve already done it then you know all this smile

Did you not upgrade the clutch. For the small amount of money it would have been worth it.

I don't mean triple plate like the big boys but the mardigra upgraded one?
