Vallis10 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Hi guys, Not posted for a while, since I got the car actually, and I’ve made a fair few changes since then! So I got the car completely standard in January 2020, and I knew it wouldn’t be long till I made some changes. Courtesy of Tarmac Sportz, the car got lowered 30mm on H&R springs, and also had 25mm JR spacers fitted you finish it off, and have the car sitting the way I wanted. During the same visit, they also fitted an Invidia N1 catback exhaust, which not only looks great, but sounds great too! I was really happy with the car, it had a bit of an OEM+ feel to it. But, I didn’t feel it was quite enough! So, another visit to Tarmac Sportz and just before COVID-19 put the country in lockdown, I collected their front lip, side skirt extensions, side window louvres and rear bumper spats. I had to wait until they opened again though to have it fitted, so after waiting a couple of months they got me straight in. This parts I feel really give the car a new aggressive feel to it. The car looks sleek before, but now it looks like it wants to go racing Am I happy? Yes, very much so. But now I feel as if something is missing from the rear... I am having a spoiler sorted, but that can go in a future thread update! During lockdown there hasn’t really been a great to do, so I started wrapping some interior parts, firstly in Pearl Metallic Black, and then some Carbon Fibre. Whilst I’m new to wrapping, I don’t think I did the worst job ever, but I’m now planning on having it all hydro-dipped in carbon fibre by a friend. Last thing I’ve had done is a caliper colour change from the standard black. Whilst my aim for this car is to be fairly stealthy, black out everything, I felt the calipers needed to stand out. What better colour to do this, than Porsche Acid Green! It really adds something to the car, and I’m properly chuffed I went for the colour Some small bits I’ve done as well are: R35 GTR start button Rear Wiper delete LED reverse lights (incredibly bright!) Diadem Indicators (ordered, need fitting) Rear window tint (5%) Mishimoto Gear Knob (Sponsor Purchase) What’s next? Well, I have loads of plans, but once my spoiler is done I think I’ll be getting the wheels refurbished in gloss black. I do have more planned, but could be a while before much happens after that! I do have some decat pipes to get fitted after MOT as well Whilst I may not be the most active on here, I’ll certainly help anyone who has any questions about my car! I’ve also put my pictures from the day I got it home, right until a recent trip to Lady Bower Reservoir! Standard: After the first trip to Tarmac Sportz: After the springs had settled: New start button: Just a nice photo!: Last visit to Tarmac: Much better than black calipers!

ShortPaul Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 That's looking sweet, sitting perfectly is a thing rubbing or grounding out, did you have to fit adjustable camber arms? 1 Quote
Humpy Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Looks great and I'm rather partial to a bit of Porsche acid green on calipers. 1 Quote

I haven’t had them fitted no mate! It does sit really nice, and I haven’t had any form of rubbing. My only issue has been how low the exhaust sits at its lowest point, and that will scrape on speed bumps if I go over dead central! Quote
