How do I attach the inner guard? It didn't come with screws. I think it's them plastic push in screws. Is that right? What's the "Bunnings" name for them?

Going shopping for brake pads, headlight bulbs and said screws ^^^ tomorrow. Anything else I need?

IS it possible to cut up the standard air feed to the airbox. Looking to do a CAI with some plastic tubing and plastic ties.

For all you guys going to the DIY day, it may be an idea to check out all the parts i have for sale in the "Parts for Sale" section.

Unfortunately i have to work but you may be able to get them fitted on the day if you buy from me prior to the day.

You wont be able to connect the mirrors to the alarm ... I tried to do this with mine... But our switch is different to the DIY guide on the UK forums ... Well unless they changed it for 97 and up ...

But yeah, couldn't do it ....

Hey guys when you put in the angel eyes could you write up the process or photos from baking to the wiring process. The wiring process isn't included in the pdf instructions. I wanted to wire it to the fog lights so i could have control of it.

Angel eyes!

I got them from Borep in the very first run but completely forget about them, they should be lying around in the back of my cupboard lol.

I need to do these too then, I'll get a good idea looking at how others are doing it.

Ok, how's this sound.

Since people are being so considerate and offering to help others, I'll bring a case of beer. I can't really do much else, I want to help people with things but I really don't think I can since I'm the one who needs help lol.

What's everybody's preference? How does a case of crownies sound?

(Ben I just saw a flash of light outside my work window, was that the huge glint in your eye since your only next door?)

People are going to be too drunk to drive back home

Well I dunno, I can buy the case I have no probs with that, we can go halvers? You live in the hills district so we can cruise up there if you want. I'll buy the case on friday night and you can chip in on Sat if you want to.

Or we can just figure sumthing else out if you don't like the sounds of that. My parent own a restaurant so maybe I can even bring some entree type things to nibble on.

Just throwing ideas out there!
