I shouldn't worry to much about that Steve, these cars have a natural limiter it's called the fuel gauge

modify it and it gets even worse. So, how many SRT6s do you have in the UK?
12 in Sweden.

According to the Dvla records here in the UK there are 108 SRT's including the unlicenced ones that are lurking in garages. According to the numbers sold 40% of these are roadsters. Interestingly there have been a lot of SRT's changing hands lately at a various prices & at our club meetings there has been more SRT's than NA models on many occasions.
What are the prices like in Sweden? With so few have the values started to increase yet.

Wheels refurbed in Hi - Silver powdercoat which is basically factory colour bright metalic silver with a slight sparkle, and now back on the car with 4 new Falken FK452's.
Have steam cleaned underside and repainted a lot of the factory painted black parts.
Lots of little jobs done now including an oil and filter change, but awaiting a pair of new front inner wing splash guards from USA, and could also do with a near side headlight unit when one comes along. Also waiting for a couple of sunny days to refinish inside wheel arches, calipers, disks and suspension parts.
Chipsaway offer a guaranteed bumper hole repair system which is done by a plastic weld guaranteed not to crack and perfect paint match - price £480.00 for the 8 parking sensor holes!! - so will now rather wait for a used rear bumper to come along
Car is slowly improving - looking forward to working on the paint work. Theres no serious issues but going to clean the finish with Meguires step 1, then a deep polish to remove the swirl marks followed by a coat of Carnuba wax.
After all that it might be fit to be seen in public !!

Looking good Steve,
I know how you hate the parking sensors, how about just painting them body colour for now would help them blend in.

Yes Ive painted the front ones in now, the back ones are gone as I ripped it all out, what you see here in the pic at back are rubber blanking gromets and Ill do same with these for now I expect. I found a used bumper in the right colour for sensible ££ but its scratched - gonna check it out though. Had quote from specialist bumper repair Co who give a lifetime warranty as they weld the repair with the same plastic and repaint, they want £400 to do both bumpers!!!
