    I'm really enjoying the RS and ST series, the ST is a car that alot of people can afford and a great place to start car modifying.

    There are some kind of rubber attachments to put on a drill to remove stickers etc. Works perfect for stuck on vynil like that.

    Use heat from plummers burner. Does help a lot on tough nuts and bolts

    Holts headlight restoration kit for the rear lights, i bought a st with stupid black painted lights. Worked a treat brand new after. Well worth £13 and a a few hours work plus you can do the fronts while you're at it.

      @EVIL GT rear lights are easy to remove too, also worth replacing the sealing rubbers etc as these are prone to leaking. I was lazy and just took them out cleaned them up and murdered them with clear silicone sealant, also the little plastic parts where the lights screw into

    Bit of copper crease behind the spacers might help to stop them from sticking together

    If you have issues with the spacers welding to the brakes, could try a layer of copper grease in between. Also a layer between the spacer and the wheel so they won’t stick there either

    Great stuff,but you should put some copperslip on the hub before fitting the wheels , also you need a torque wrench for all those bolts.

    That decat to mid pipe will never be right if you keep it the same as you have a 3 inch to a 2.5 inch diameter so you've got the gasses directly hitting part of the flange on hence trying to escape as the flow is disturbed
