Default My White Hawk Eye

Hey guys, fairly new to this forum so thought i'd post up a few pics of my car

Got it just before christmas and absolutely loving it so far

The pics:









The first modification was to remove the tail lights and fit some blob eye ones, sorry for the bad pic, but I think it really has improved the look of the car at the rear...



I've also a set of Apex coilovers sitting in the garage, so that's the next thing on the "to do" list.

Then hopefully new wheels, although still trying to decide on offset and width etc

Nice, but I would say that

Cosmetically, I reckon the bug eye reat lights look nice! I'd also invest in a chin spoiler for the car; the Prodrive on is great and really improves the front end of the car.

Not sure I'd bother with the coilovers personally, quality uprated springs is all they need for road use; PPP ones are ideal. I've yet to find a coilover kit that has the bump absorption and fluidity of a well set up car over bad roads as the stock suspension set up.

18 inch wheels are a good upgrade. Go for 'gunmetal' type colors; gold doesn't really suit IMHO. PPF7s are lovely as are OZ ultralegeras

Power wise: I'd recommend you get a better exhaust and a remap from someone reputable. Won't cost the earth and should see 350+ bhp and 400ft lbs of torque! Will make for a lovely daily driver.

Beyond that, it starts to get expensive, as upgrading the internals becomes necessary!

Enjoy!

Looks nice and clean mate

Debadging the back cleans them up and some wide wheels look good (Blobeye, but same from behind )

Update time

On Friday I got a lip fitted thanks to Daza off ScoobyIreland.com and it really has made a huge difference to the front of the car

Then on Saturday, myself and a mate got the Apex coilovers fitted. Really impressed with these as I wasn't sure what to expect, but they are every bit as comfy as the standard suspension.

Currently letting the suspension settle, so may lower the front a tad more and the rear up a bit...

Anyway, here's the pics:















Next thing to do is remove the rear tints, just too dark for me and hopefully will be ordering the new wheels
