Finally got the car on my driveway this week after it landed in Japan late October 

 

A lot of plans for the car but some nice mods in place already so off to a flying start 

 

Here’s how she looks at the moment

Yaaaay! Another one!
I like that front lip; improves the front no-end.

Definitely mate. Although I’ll probably change it a year or 2 down the line if I get bored and fancy a change. Some nice bumpers for these

Nice purchase, love these, especially the rear end.

My favourite bit is the rear, especially with the Chargespeed bumper

Had the car out all day today, absolutely love the way it drives. Really comfortable, handles well, sounds great. Will get the intake fitted soon

 

Gave the interior a good clean and got the new mats in. Much nicer place to be now, red mats were horrible 

 

Before/after:

Thanks 

 

Not sure about the conversion I think it’s just the manual gaiter added in with that wierd gearknob on. Would’ve added the manual surround and gaiter afterwards myself. Will look into the pedals

Yea I wasn’t sure on red first but I love it now. Once I’ve got it looking my way and fully detailed I’ll be happy 

 

Had a look at the pedals online and I’ve seen loads like mine so I think they’re standard

Had some sunshine and a free afternoon so made a start on removing some more bits

 

Eyelids and carbon eye make up now gone, no idea what he was thinking with the carbon vinyl below the headlights 

 

Also debadged the rear but still need to remove the adhesive residue

Especially this one as he’s painted I’d metallic grey with a few colours of pearl flakes. Didn’t sit well with red, would’ve looked ok on black or white maybe

 

Black with work well on red. Was unsure on gloss/satin/matte but going satin with gloss emblem

Not updated this in a few weeks. Had an overheating issue, looks like the fans have seized up so will sort that. Also had a leak from the radiator so have tried a sealant and will see how it goes. Thanks to Stevie aka chubbyninja who came out to help

 

Back to the mods

 

DC sports induction kit fitted, with the kakimoto exhaust it sounds amazing. Quiet on idling but purrs when opened up

 

Today I gave the engine bay a good clean with a trusty toothbrush and sprayed the grille satin black with gloss emblem. Cars coming along nicely

Thanks mate

 

Theres a lot of reflection on the headlights there normally they look darker and match better

 

I hate the orange reflectors but they are side indicators so can’t do much with them
