Bloody Nora, 2.5 months and no update? Not good enough!

Although my Dad having a surprise heart attack which required emergency stents, then a triple bypass the following day may account for that... All good now though thankfully.

In less important news, tipping away at the "Big Girl". 'Cos, well, big girls need lovin' too.
New front pads to compliment my freshly skimmed front discs

Quinns were good enough to throw in a lovely poster and diary.


Inner pads have left and right, made by Textar.

Front discs were noticeably out of true.
Not easy to machine, so Adrian in MecTec.ie made a special spindle to mount them on. I kept it, could be handy.


Took off the front bumper to remove the aux fan..


Of course, because I'm an eejit, I only decided to do that AFTER I'd replaced the dodgy front pdc sensors.


While the bumper is off I'm going to paint it. The last time it was painted I'd say Stevie Wonder was on the job, utterly shocking job, they even masked around the number plate! Like wtf!
The bumper is perfect in structure aside from a small crack on the underside that I repaired easily.


And with the bumper off I looked at the (bizarrely) unused brake air ducts.


Two plastic ducts to the front grille from an "M" sport ordered, and the inner arch liners opened up to let the air pass to the brakes.
Before..


After..



Note to self, clean inner arch area...

Lastly, I finally changed the other dodgy rear pdc sensor, the inner one. Managed to do that by loosening the bumper, unbolting one side and had just enough room to get my fingers in.


As a happy byproduct, I got the bumper fitting nicer too when tightening up.


Now, with the front bumper off, are there any benefits to modding the air Box intakes?
Not that I feel I'm struggling for power mind...
