I thought it's time for Lexi's own progress thread. This was Saturday's job. Which she did by herself, mostly. Her little B was hit by a pebble some time ago which chipped her LH headlight. She'd bought a new one from DJ7 a while back and this weekend before work she got tired of driving around with her broken one. So I grabbed the toolbox, and had a beer.  Bumper coming off... "How many MORE bolts need to come out"   New light going in  Learning how a ratchet works, and how to refit screws all at the same time   _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter"  Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600

But very well done - nice 1

I think we'll need to get her some gloves and drop the jewellery yes Lupi. Next will be a wing for the back, or spot's for the front. She took the 17s off the car this weekend. The front tyres were almost done and the 14s still has brand new tyres on crispy boss wrote: good work Lexi's future husband, LOL but the bumper doesnt have to come off to replace the headlight Removed the top two bolts, and she thought it was loose now. So showed her the ones underneath. And in the arches. Her face was something like...  and then  _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600

I just had a brief visit from the SO. She's in a complete state. She walked back to her car in the UWC parking and some #*&% had knocked her driver's side mirror off which was now lying on the floor. She picked it up and came to me at work to pop it back into place. This is mirror number two in 6 months  People seriously have no respect for other people's cars  _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600

Hopefully you will find the person who was responsible for this _________________  0kw 0Nm
