Pod mounted Defi's
Splitter and flaps.
Spec C headlamps
D2 oil catch can set up.
Amdrew Forest 20G
3"decat DC downpipe
3" DC decat system
RCM induction with K&N filter
Harvey Ported Headers and Harvey trick Up-pipe

No not "this" one.

However I have bought a doner car too for some goodies for this. Some other parts off it will be available cheap enough to you all

Cheers Dirk

Well I managed to get the lights fitted today, but in hindsight I should have just de-tango'd my current ones, so I will be throwing them in my oven and getting my rattle can ready LOL

The Spec C lamps don't have electronic risers, and although it does look possible to convert them (fittings are there) I would need to open both sets of light in order to get the fittings out, so I may as well sell the Spec C lamps and de-tango and bespoke my current ones.


Anyway a picture of of the Spec C lamps fitted, just need to adjust the beam (manually lol)






The WRC Tarmac tyres going on my Gra's





The Gra;s



Yes I know the cars filthy, but weather is shocking and I went for a play yesterday with 2 wheeled machine!

Rob


ps - those of you with a keen eye will see the split in my splitter DOH!

pps - I know the number plate is an embarrassment, and of all people I should have surely changed this by now, but I just havent had the time. Its on the cards, but Im not sure whether to go Square or oblong, views?

Hi Rob, looking fantastic there mate..
can i ask a question if you dont mind, what coilovers have you got, as it sits very very nicely and looks the business m8.. my blob has got std sti suspension with 17" rims on, but i cant lower the thing cos the splitter is already very low, but looks pants with the big gap above both tyres, so may have to change to a set of nice 18" and some coilovers,
cheers mate...
Dave.

oh love the gold wheels btw
