The last owner of my car decided to repaint the factory red calipers yellow but whoever has done it made an arse of it. A very dull yellow and a bubbling finish. So whilst putting my spacers on I decided to rub them down and re-do them properly with proper Caliper paint. This VHT branded stuff is excellent. I’ve been using it for years now.

I’ve got TTS decals to go on but I’ll wait till the paints proper cures before applying them.

Spacers on. 12mm front, 15mm rear

Reversing camera retrofit today. Took me about three hours. Took loads of photos and had to pull a lot of info together but I’ll stick up a tutorial in a dedicated thread.

Being looking forward to seeing how this went.

My new gearshift gaiter finally turned up today. Royal steering wheels made it to match my wheel. Fitted it alongside my big new knob!

What did you use to scuff up the calipers? Just stick the decals on? Will have to do the wife’s Cooper S as they look dreadful.

I used two different grades of sandpaper. A fairly course one to start off with and then a finer one to smooth them out. If you use a good paint like the VHT stuff I normally use, it self-levels to a degree as well, so you get a nice finish.

Funnily enough, after fitting the new knob and gaiter tonight, I gave the car a wash and decided to stick the new caliper decals on.

Finally back from work for a little while, car into Skidz on Monday to get the new audio done. Off to Dub Customs after that and then should be ready in time for this on July 10th.

Exhaust internals modded and resonator deleted. Best £300 I’ve ever spent on any car ever! It sounds better than my M5!

Do you have soundbite? i have been waiting to hear this 🔥

Got a call from the paint-shop this afternoon to say my wing was ready, so I picked it up and fitted it after work. I'm over the moon with this!



And before anyone says it, black mirror caps are on order!

I don't think you can do much more to it than that, other then sell it to me, it looks pretty damn perfect!

Leaving the wheels Black is 100% right thing to do, those wheels silver are not good enough looking to be honest, they look far better black!!

Im still not 100% I quite like them in silver but it’s cheaper to buy black mirror caps and get my M5 wheels done! Can’t have both cars with silver wheels.

Im going to be the seatbelts done in yellow next I think.

That brings back memories I did all 4 in Red in the 997, and Ill be honest doing the rears nearly put me in a wheelchair!

For the record I have a big soft spot for that yellow TT, its very nice indeed

That looks great, looking forward to getting mine finished and we can do that photoshoot.
