Seeing as the last time I took any decent pictures of her she was still missing a few parts from the front grill and looked a bit silly, I thought I'd tak a few today after cleaning her again. She was fully foamed, washed, polished and waxed a couple of days ago before her service at marshalls, but seeing as that was almost 500 miles ago I decided another quick clean was in order.
No polishing or waxing, as the weather's a bit changeable today and there didn't see much point...

Mods since the:
Finished off the front grill by fitting the chrome strip (actually in two bits as it's second hand but they're 45 quid from VX so it'll do for now, and added the backing plate and griffin. Also replaced the large plastic back piece that the grill and bumper connect on to, as when the Irmscher grill is fitted to it you have to cut half of it away and it wasn't particularly stable...
While the bumper was off took the opportunity to replace the VXR fog lights with some secondhand ones from a Renault with H11 HID bulbs to connect up to my old HID kit. In the photo above you can see they were were fitted when i first put the bumper on, but becuase they were H7's they were simply glued in place and I didn't really like knowing they were like that. The replacement bulbs were only 20 quid from HIDs Direct and connected straight on tot he old ballast and cancellor so can't complain...
Also replaced the standard VX 4300K xenon bulbs in the dipped beam for some 6000K ones to match the HID kit in the fogs, and the bulb colour is much nicer and much more upmarket than the standard colour. Well worth doing for anyone with AFL...
Mods to do:
Still waiting on a secondhand black AFL passenger side unit, could be waiting a while...
Interior will be getting looked at once Maverick decides what's best for me...
