Got the front door cards swapped over so that the leather inserts are present with the interior, started on the rear manual to electric window conversion so hopefully that'll be done by the weekend. Also done the insignia washer jets today, I'm still awaiting a new locking wheel nut so that i can get the Penta's off and get the BK999's on along with some springs and shocks plus my drilled and grooved discs and then paint the calipers.

Managed to get my locking wheel nut off today and get my VXR shocks and springs fitted along with the BK999's finaly ...
Standard SRi shock and spring vs. VXR shock and spring...
VXR Shocks & Springs on with BK999's on It does still leave it sitting a little bit high but overall its dropped about 20mm over standard so definitely an improvement and feels better to drive too
Aso got my VXR gear lever through the post today so go that fitted too...

Today saw the car on its 18th day of my ownership and I'm ready to bolt in its third interior in nearly as many weeks...
