Just about to fit a newly recharged 2nd hand K&N filter. Now where's those resonator box removal tips ? :P

Not a whole lot going on bar the oil change and general maintenance :oops: I need to look into pricing up getting the front bumper resprayed at some point (ideally while doing the resonator removal ;) ). Whoever resprayed it originally, obviously didn't prep the bumper up first and the paint is now chipping :evil:

car looks 8-)

i wouldn't wait for the paint to rip out the resonator though. it takes 40mins round trip. take off the bumper. take off the resonator, put bumper back on. its that easy....

Its usually around £200 per panel but ours is a 3 stage pearl so may cost more.
Luckily iv found the PERFECT shade of white diamond pearl that will match with almost no colour difference.
Took several spray out car attempts of different shades to find it. :roll:

Premium white pearl is the later colour from 98 onwards. White diamond is ours. They are different colours.
