Cool Kjdmk1's APS Top mount/Turbo and colour coding !! You have to hate him for this !

Well I've got my official photographer head on again today... and it's a horrible job having to take such pictures as these

Firstly lets see how the Pink car started off last week....









Well this is how is has finished off looking this week







I always thought he was a mate until he makes me take pictures of such filth







Stunning or what !!



I'm not going into detail about what's going on under the bonnet the man himself will be on later for that but it's a seriously nice car to drive and has lots of low down drivable power as well as top end to
We have a RR in a couple of weeks so not sure if Kev will commit to a figure as yet or wait for the print off instead.



I'm not sure why a lot of these pictures have come out small though



Next mod will be a pair of piston bonnet openers





Imposing in the mirror



For those of you that remember the dented bonnet





Very nice even if I do say so myself Kev

Simon

Thanks for the comments thank you to simon for taking the pic's it was his idea to get the colour coding done while the front end had a little freshen up
I'm very pleased with the results and the engine mods have transformed the car .
API did the spanner work and also provided me with the option of going back to how it was if i did not like it, NO WAY top guys at API David tells you as it is and with Nathan on the spanners your in good hands
We have a r/r day coming up so it will be interesting to see the results , i'm very impressed with this APS stuff its expensive but good kit.
I'm totaly skint now, so the wallet is going to have a rest for a little while, not bad for £160 a Dan

That's lookin good Kev. Lovely motor. (Red cars are the best)

Colour coding really sets the engine bay off. The top mount is cool too.

I expect to see you in one of the SIDC's famous show and shine comeptitions this year!!!

Top stuff, well done.

Looks like the boy is doing the "show and shine"

We don't mind Muddy... as long as you have someone to come over and cook on the South Wales BBQ we can't release him overwise
