Now as much as I like the standard 360 wheels they really don't go with the CS bodykit and silver looks a bit naff with the white.

It's so easy to crack the glass on refitting which is what I suspect happened and then overlooked as the car had Strad mirrors fitted.
#VOICEY NETWORK DRIVERS#
Additonally the drivers side mirror glass had to be replaced - I think the mirrors were painted with the glass removed. Whilst we were there we refitted the rubber seal down the A pillar as it hadn't been put on properly. The rubber was able to be repaired with superglue and is holding up well. When the window touched the foam it stopped short of it's proper resting position. The seal is a rubber outer with a foam inner - the rubber had split and the foam was expanding out. We traced the problem to a split seal at the front of the roof. We tried with the roof up and it came back. When I went to show him the problem gap it had gone. I actually picked him up from the station in the car and as it was sunny I had the roof down. The next time I came round to looking at it I had the help of a friend. I put it all back together again and left it for another day. I started by stripping the door down, thinking that it would be a problem with the alignment of the glass but after spending almost an entire day I couldn't sort it out. This would easily let a lot of water in if the car was ever left out in the rain. In the first picture you can see the gigantic gap at the front of the window. One of the things I wanted to solve quickly was the poor fitment of the drivers window. I've had this set for over 10 years and it barely been used until recently - now it is one of my most used tools! Another annoyance is that I've come across a lot of cross threaded items and mis-matched bolts - my OCD is enough for me to want to replace the mis-matched bolts and I've been lucky to rescue the cross threaded stuff by running a tap & die over the affected parts. I suppose the paint shop can't spend forever putting things back together - it's a good job I've got some spare time though as I'm embarking on a program to remove everything and take my time re-fitting them to make sure that it's just right. One thing that has disappointed me a little was the fit of the parts that were removed to do the paint job. If I can be bothered I might wet sand it out but you can only notice it if you know what you're looking for. I went over it with a fine tooth comb and only spotted one small imperfection at the bottom of the drivers door.
