      Nope. It's not that sort of noise. I know what that sort of noise is lol... It's not on full lock, it's on dips of the road coming from the wheel archs

        Whats your wheel/tyre spec? Could it possibly be rubbing on the part where the inner guard attaches to the actual chassis? Mine will rub slightly, and require abit of grinding as I want to somewhat retain a fender guard. Stones and pebbles do my head in and eat away at the kit over time.

            I visited the paint shop today to drop off the rocker cover for painting. Here are some updates so far.













            The car should be ready by this saturday. I will be bringing it back to the paint shop once i've returned all the engine bay items for a final cut and buff.

              It might be rubbing against the chassis's rear fender guard spot. But I could also be wrong as people in the past have run that sort of offset and width before with no issue.

                  I won't keep it a secret anymore. The colour code is Platinum White: NH609P. It is a creamier white compared to the Grand Prix White: NH-565. This colour is also featured on Vyets s2k. The colour of Vyets S2k was simply too stunning to miss. I had ran through almost 12 different colours through my mind from laguna blue to lambo grey, but JDM Pearl White was too good to miss.





                  To some, it may come across as a slight ivory colour, and may even come across as a yummy vanilla ice-cream white. I saw it in person tonight for the first time, and I must say it looks amazing. I can't wait to have the car back tomorrow so I can slowly piece it together. It is defiantly a unique colour. I did not expect it to be this distinctly different from CW but it is and I love it. So here are some pics for you guys to admire.











                  Good news too, is the rear guards fitted well to the rear bumper. So even though there might be a slight chance of it ever slightly forming a gap, the chances are very slim as I have been told. Lets pray that it stays on forever.





                  Once this bodywork is complete, I will try to write a thorough process to recap and let others learn if they ever attempt on such scale of bodywork.

                              The rear bumper blended in well. Like I say, only time will tell. I wouldn't go back to NHB, the maintenance in keeping it clean was ridiculous.

                              Thanks man. Its more of an ivory white the more I look at it. But nonetheless, no other person has this colour for sure!

                                Just got the car towed back. A sigh of relief!









                                Now two things I will mention. Two brackets were made and bolted to the chasis to the front bumper. This was to reduce the play it had in regards to fibreglass flexing. It is now very solid.



                                The rear guards fitted well to the rear bumper. Only time will tell whether they hold up.




                                Finally, home sweet home.
