Haha, that's the one thing about MR2s; There's always a lengthy "to do" list :D

If it helps mine for this next week or so consists of:

- LED heater mod, with a twist
- Install the new seats
- Swap the pillar gauge pod and wire in the gauges
- Replace the sidelight/indicators
- Final cluster mods, although I'm concerned it's going to blind me :shock:
- Install a few custom bits I've had made.

If you need a hand let me know. Always happy to assist if I can :thumleft:

Cool thanks, I am major worried about getting this front bumper right, old one can come off however as it's being binned after, need to replace a bulb in one fog, fit new Midship badge and make sure it all fit's right, have bought loads of new fixings ready and a decent set of replacement undertrays ready, want to get done as soon as I can really as had it all ready last year and never got it done...

Legend, thanks :thumleft:

Is it an OEM bumper or aftermarket? From what I've read taking them off is the hard part, mounting a replacement (unless aftermarket) should be fairly straight forward.

Should be ok then. Use the removal to learn lessons, especially clips, then reverse the process. Minus any niggles of course :thumleft:

Bloody hell is that my one from way back when?

If you have any questions about how to do it just ask, ive done it 3 times now. Can get a bumper off in about an hour and a half now, but first time took more than a day.

Hi

Include me in for the meet up, I've just got my Rev 5 T-bar Turbo on the road after 16 months work so it would be nice to give her a bit of a run out.

Is a day and time settled on?

As for time, how does everyone feel about mid-day? 12 time, ready for lunch, not too early for those with a bit further to come and plenty of time to chat and take some pics?...

Ideally a little later for me if possible? We're in Bristol the night before, so it's around 2 1/2 hours back from there, depending on traffic.

I'll go with the masses, as I can always arrive a few minutes after the rest of you. No point me holding things up :oops:
