I'm considering the Non Res myself at some point. I need to hear one in person really though as its difficult to judge based on videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 yes iv had both cobra videos of the exhaust open res and non and played them 10 seconds each and the res is quieter but its quite hard to know which is which really from videos, my mind is swaying more non res but only due to my budget hopefully august-september ill have the funds saved for the exhaust, if i keep to my saving budget lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 new update, the blue pin stripe had arrived, 5 10m rolled of it so over the week end i stared the mammoth task i had brought upon myself. after many hours of lifting and reapplying iv got the front end done, there is a couple imperfections that need addressing but nothing serious. iv already had people eyeing up my car either for that looks stupid or people are amazed haha. now onto the rest of the wheel arches and sides of the car. i also need to buy more as i used 30m on the front as i had to scrap alot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexBartlam Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Well here we go iv acquired the exhaust and im looking and cars on the ramps, the problem is when no ones home and you want to do it your self you come up with some pretty good ways of stopping them sliding. Dont mind my dog he was being nosey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 unfortunately the exhaust is not on the car to save money only the back box is going on the car, as i would have to buy a gasket kit and still wouldn't know if it would fit, so to save hassle i bought a cutting blade for my angle grinder and im putting the back box on, a local garage quoted me £65 for fitting and the manufacturing of a reducer pipe which i bought off eBay for £8 made by a company proving they are the best in the business saying they bend the metal in a special way, anything to get business. This pipe should arrive tomorrow with the postie as they boast a 1 day manufacture and postage timescale. ill update wednesday if its on or not, lets hope it is on here is the advert, they offer a free splitting service so they can be clamped on which is what i opted for. ebay clicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 the eBay clicky has arrived today iv been told by my dad which means its being installed tonight when i get home from work, the old back box off and the new one on, ill update tomorrow with pics and some video of the sound once iv driven it to bed it in a bit.

AlexBartlam Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 finally got it one, took two hours for me and my dad to complete, cut my stock back box off and replaced it with the new one. had to cut my bumper a little but looks really good now its done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 i was in the local multi story parking to do some shopping when i decided to go up to the top floor unfortunately roof level was closed so i snapped a few pics. the next day (Saturday) i had a spare 4 hours while the missus was at work so i gave her a good bath with full cover of paint restorer and polish topped off with extra gloss protection, the first proper was iv been able to do, now its looking like it should gleaming and looking white, then it rained an hour later so i got to see the beading, i now hoping the dirt will fall off now iv put the paint protection on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any pics of the new gel overlays? Looking to get them myself on a white KA mk2 👍 Also, are you still thinking of doing the rimblades? Could imagine they'd look nice in white or blue to the match the pinstripes (which look awesome btw) They look nice on google images with white blades on white car with black rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 unfortunately no overlays i may get them end of April funds depending only £28 but still got to see if i can afford them. rim blades will be done in due time (also funds) the pin striping is on hold at the minuet i may get some more done at the weekend whether depending has to be put on dry.# 4 hours ago, zak.d said: Those pinstripes look amazing where did you get it from eBay roughly £5 free P&P for 50m didn't turn up so they sent it out again arrived next day then the first lot arrived the day after so had 100M to play with have one roll left out of 10 and still have roof/ whole back end and the side skirts to do. need to buy an extra few rolls, i also did the steering wheel around the silver parts which looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
