Made up a template tonight for a cooling shroud that completely deletes the bonnet catch.
The carbon one has annoyed me for ages because of this.

Should look alright when cut properly, folded and coated in a matte black.

Custom cooling shroud now finished in matte black. Looked too clean to even put a FE logo on.
I think it looks nicely OEM biggrin

Gave the old girl a scrub up ready for a drive out with the Pistonheads boys last Sunday. .





The results of demonstrating antilag on the grass.



Another great shot of her at Paul Stephens by Nick Johnson.

Had the car up on stands as the wheels were getting the Michelins put on.
Naturally the new Volks got clayed, polished and waxed.
Glad I did as they came up pretty nice. smile





While she was up on stands I decided to drop the arch liners and give her a good scrub. Dropped the discs off to clean them up too. The front calipers are getting an overhaul this winter and the rear Brembos are getting sold.




However a mishap with the pressure washer meant I managed to rip some paint clean off my front fog cover. rolleyes



With that done I figured they would need re painting anyway so decided to redesign the intake ducts up front for something a bit more aggressive.

So the covers have had the chop and will get all new designed ducts grafted in.
You'll see they have been cut inline with the flutes on the Prodrive covers.



To be continued....

A bit more work stripping the car of gauges.

All the Defis are now sold and so are the steering column mounted wideband and act.
The dash will be all coming out for a refresh soon anyway so wasn't bothered about the mess. Lol



All out and tied up.



Thanks to Tim @ JTi for the superb service and the replacement Toucan and sensor that will be going in.

Fitted new sensors for the Toucan and run the cables into the cabin. However I need to wire them into the Syvecs.
In that note, I fancy changing the dash around again this winter. So decided I may aswell just take it out as it easier to get to everything and make everything neater.
Going to have a serious cable cul before it goes back in. I hate that it's all so damn messy behind there.

Made up a little sub loom to run the Toucan from using an ISO connector. It has everything you need, 12v live, Ign live, ground and illumination.
Put it on Deans plugs as it's always nice and easy to unplug if I need to. Not wired in my sensors yet, but all cables have been run. Great to get the Toucan powered up though, it's such a smart little unit. I don't know why I've left it this long to get one. smile

All quiet here what with house and wedding planning.

However the car is 75% ready to go in for some treatment and work on the prototype fog covers continues. These are just mock ups for now and don't represent their finish once completed.
