Cheers man
If you do it the proper way... A pain in the arse as it's awkward. Probably bumper off. If you do it like a pikey/me, big cable tie and easy.
I will get around to doing it properly at some point, as I don't have a tow eye on the front.

Erm, no...?
RE: Phase Win Diablo GTi-6 - Frosty - 20-09-2012
i am tempted to have a go at putting 1 on. they are only a tenner so that aint to bad!
keep up the good work with the car!
RE: Phase Win Diablo GTi-6 - Curt - 20-09-2012
Yeah go for it! Mine is just for aesthetics at the moment because I'm a fanny.
Will do my best!
Finally sorted my reverse lever properly today. Problem is, as they're made for handle bars, the gear stick is too thin for it to clamp to. I did originally have it on the black part which the lift reverse collar sits over... But this caused issues as that was too low, the lever hit the centre console. So I had to mount it higher. I did pack it out with electrical tape, as a testing-the-water bodge. It worked but I needed something better, as over time and heat the tape spiralled down the stick in a fairly comical fashion. So then I bought a gear stick sleeve, which after some modification (with an angle grinder) fitted. Which was great, for a day. Then the securing grub screw stripped the thread in the sleeve (it's only ally). So, back to square one. So I decided to use rubber, as my idea is to not actually change anything on the car, so it's reversible.
So I had an old Poweflex dogbone mount bush from my Audi...
Hole saw'd me a hole:
Then after drilling a hole, and a fair bit of sanding I had this:
Which works perfectly.
Also fitted the black collar instead of the titanium one that was on. Can't be bothered to explain why it was titanium.
Excuse the poor phone pics...

Matt came round today to help change my wishbones because I still have a spastic hand.
Had some fun and games but we got there... No pictures or anything because it's boring.
But whilst we did that Katie wanted to paint my calipers red, and they came out really well:
Pictures behind the wheels tomorrow, still drying at the moment.
RE: Phase Win Diablo GTi-6 - 4WayDiablo - 22-09-2012
They're a bit red!
RE: Phase Win Diablo GTi-6 - Matt - 22-09-2012

Glad we got the wishbones sorted
And almost got my handles done.......

So what's the difference between that and "all the time"?
RE: Phase Win Diablo GTi-6 - Matt - 23-09-2012
Well i do actually have some mechanical knowledge believe it or not.
The times when i sat back watching is when i hve zero idea or the job only requires one person to do.
Most ofbthe time i will help out if needed.
Also no one sees the work i undertake on my car....
