Default A week of modding my v5 type r

Had a week spare so thought i'd fit a few of the goodies i've brought the past few weeks

I fit my freshly reconned Brembo's Front and rear
Cusco coilovers
carbon bonnet
corner spats
front splitter
roof vent
wrapped the roof
waxoyl the front of the car behind bumper
Still gotta refit the roof trims but going to get some mint 1's first
also got 2 fit the wind deflectors that i've painted black
Got some 18" Compomotive Mo's to go on also

I also painted a spare manifold in crinkle red
fmic pipes crinkle black
along with a few other parts to tidy the bay but not fitted yet as i need another spare week











just a little sneek peek of the inlet

Car looks fantastic, and if you want a set of those exact wheels as spares, just shout!
Mine are Steel Grey Rota GRA's, unmarked and all yours for the right price.

3 brand new tyres, and one hardly partly worn. Sitting in the garage - redundant and sad!

Looks great, some cracking work done there. That scoop is so much better than the usual route of sticking a blob one on

As for cutting the hole in the roof it was a little nerving at times but once started there was no going back

Also added carbon fog covers today

Need my broke foot to fully repair now so i can drive it
