Na there have been a few ppl thinking of doing new ones but havnt seen anything yet....
Pop down to U_pull_it and find a decent used one, they go for about 10 to 20$...
wash it out with boiling water, then fill it with 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 boiling water let it sit for a few days...
if still not clean stick it into a bucket raw bleach for a few days to a week,then wash it out with boiling water until you cant smell the bleach anymore

Some weekend work- fitted some EBAY tail lights.. look nice and new but they are alot brighter than the genuine GM units. May switch back to standard as I like the darker look

Finally got round to getting my front spoiler painted as it was pretty rough from bottoming out on my driveway and stonechips.
While I was at it- I bought new indicators to freshen the front up..

Thought I would put some new mesh in while it was out

Now to get it back on and give it a buff..

Thought I would redo my boot trim piece as the bolts were rusty and the paint was crappy.
Bought a replacement trim from the wreckers, painted it then got me a genuine Senator decal to finish it off.

Took the car out yesterday to get it all legal - passed no problems but then on my way back to work- Speedo stopped which means no Odometer and associated fuel useage info.
Im hoping its the vss on the T5. Anyone have details on how to replace it or whatever else it could be?

So luckily me speedo was just a blown fuse due to my reverse light wiring coming off my gearbox and arcing out-

Now has anyone fitted the white line Adj swaybar?
Fitted mine over the weekend- just not sure on the swaybar rod setup- looks weaker than the original pin type??

Whiteline BHF17Z Sway bar - 30mm heavy duty blade adjustable

Moving on with progress, got some paint blemishes tidied up (still got alot more to do)
Front swaybar nolathane balljoint arms fitted, Nolathane swaybar bushes, Nolathane Radius rod bushes and upsized bolts for the D-Saddles.
Now to buy a rear swaybar and relevant Nolathane bushes to carry on the theme
