Due to popular request (ie Mr Trouser) here are a few pictures of my rolling catalogue for TSL, erm I mean my blue scoob!!





So far since collection in September, the list of mods is:-

Colour coded sills
Morettes
TSL rear spoiler
TSL back box
ITG panel filter
Colour coded TSL wing "vents"
Eibach springs & geometry set
Philips Vision+ bulbs
Alpine sound system with 6CD changer.

Not in the picture are clear side repeaters.
A front & rear aero body kit is getting fitted Wednesday/Thursday next week - more pics to follow then.

Big thanks to those jolly nice chaps at TSL for all the work done, loads of cups of tea and endless encouragement to hammer the bank account (hehehe!).

Cheers
Paul

I like 'em and so does Graham so they stay. Now if you can give me an extra 40bhp and enough torque to rip the tyres off then we will talk!!

Thanks for posting those pictures I've been after a pic of a full car and those Morrettes for ages and ages. Now I've seen them properly I agree they look great. Now where did I leave my credit card

Nice looking car, much better nose.

TSL Rear spoiler doesn't have a brake light

They use a new lamp on the rear parcel shelf (standard OEM)

Works well

Thanks for the compliments chaps. The car is currently getting the aero body kit (front and rear) fitted and I should be picking it up this afternoon. Will try and get some photo's tomorrow of this at TSL before we shoot off to Holland.
The morettes were fitted by the dealer and were summat like £350 I think. Don't know exact cost for a conversion including colour coding - anyone??
The rear brake light can just about be made out in the last picture. The only criticism is that at night it reflects in the rear window and off the front edge of the spoiler but it's hardly a major distraction - didn't even notice it at first!!

Cheers

Nice. Like mine only clean!!!! how much are the body colour wing 'vents'? they look a lot better than the orange ones on mine and even the clear ones I've seen.

Bigger spoiler looks pretty cool too..just need to restrain myself as mine's more or less a company car.

Did your Morettes come with the black insert or did you get them sprayed that way? I think they look better than mine which are all body colour.

Timbo 33,

Had the Morettes sprayed that way. Vents were £60 from TSL. Spoiler is great - plenty of downforce!!
Cheers

Very nice Paul - looks really smart. Nice to see that Eibach's have lowered things done nicely - I'll have mine done and the geometry settings next month.

Nathan (and others) here is a pic of my car fitted with the Morettes - can't understand why people say it doesn't improve the looks of the car

New spoiler also coming...

JZA - in answer to your question - because if I had to make a living out of computers I wouldn't be able to afford to buy a car from Toys R Us, never mind a new Scooby!! I'll stick to developing roads and racing tracks I think!!

Looks very nice.Don't normally like the Morrettes but they look pretty cool with the black inserts!
Are you gonna put 18's on it next? (You know you want to )

Nick..

Fellow MY01 owner with 18's

Could've been tempted on Tuesday at Northampton tyres - exactly the same deal as you have (wheel and tyre) but when he said over £1400 for the 4 I kind of decided to stick with the 17's (at least for now) and just had some T1-s's fitted in place of the crappy RE011's.

Cheers
Paul
