Just hope my first day off in 13 days doesn't end up a wet one though!
, they're not the best fun in the wet these EP3s!

True. Yea hoping it stays dry for us that are going down to Simply Japanese car show at Beaulieu tomorrow.
EP3 is all clean and ready, just need no more rain.

I've been to Beaulieu before, it's an awesome place. Just a bit far for me to drive for a meet!
Would love to attend something soon though with you all, been out of the forum game for a while.

Is that a different handbrake grip and gaitor? Looks different

Yep it's a mugen one (Probably fake) it's quite nice looking but not OEM. I'm currently in the process of hunting down a OEM one. Hoping someone might just do a straight swap so it doesn't cost me anything!
This is it, it's one of the only small mods on the car that are on my list to change, the pedals included as they aren't to my taste either.

Got to be plenty about. Have you tried some of the usual EP3 breakers on Facebook, sure they would pop one in the post for small change.

Yeah I've tried but they are asking for like £25 posted, I'm sure I can get one for less than that or find someone who is willing to swap!

Did my bits and bobs today!
Bit of good luck with the handbrake!! I took the Fugen (Fake Mugen) cover off and the original handbrake was underneath and in great condition! So that was a bit of luck. Adjusted the handbrake up the same time!!
I've also sorted out my front badge replacement and fitted my vinyl R. Bit of a cover up job for now but pretty happy with it for now!

Looking good. It’s the details that make all the difference.
It can be done. I did it when I replaced mine, but still had to take grille off to get to the pins at the back of it. So not sure how Gav did it

Looking good mate, how'd you replace the front H badge without removing the bumper?

Not looked mate, but understood there were 4 lower clips only accessible with the bumper off, as there's 2 pins behind the badge. Could do with replacing mine really.

Looking at the replacement it's literally just sticky and two little plastic lugs, with no threads on etc.
I literally (Maybe a bit bullish but) Just pulled and pulled, using a couple of old panel tools until I got the old one off. The old lugs did snap into the holes, but just pulled these out with a pliers and pushed the new one straight on.
There's no need to take the bumper off, as long as you're careful and take your time and don't mind destroying the old badge.
