Fitted my Jetex s/s exhaust a really well made piece of kit just went together so easy  :) :y the only thing was the car had its original factory fitted exhaust and the barstid bolts all snapped at the cat end  >:( that was after smothering them in wd40 and tapping them brushing the loose rust off then soaking them again for hours in wd again slowly undo a tad then back it back again to and through but still snapped >:( >:( but the exhaust is on and sounds really nice not loud and quiet when ticking over then when you bury the pedal it has a nice deep sound but not loud.  :-* :y

painted the winter wheels for omega


base color to give blue shade





final color silver





but painting them were a pain in the ar*e >:(   it took 4.5 half hours to paint 2 with clear coat


painting them vertically easier.. for less dust and avoiding flow in the holes

Re paint flow, I often wondered about keeping the part turning. Where possible?

No  :(

Big thanks to Josh for staying later than planned, but as per other thread/text it appears to be the loom  :'(

Add into that ABS ECU replacement, we could be at the end of the road I think.

Option 1) Sell both get something like V70 Estate.
Option 2) Get a roof box for the 3.2, which is tempting as sod all is wrong with that car. Bar an aircon valve leak  :)

It's a stressy process if you're new to it, but the results speak for themselves 8)

Enjoy :y
