Default white type R project

here is a few snaps of my ongoing project car

not everyones taste but i like it

not 100% on front splitter so that could be gone sooner rather than later.

not finished so there may be 1 or 2 things that look that way lol

it goes like stink and brings a smile

Looks good, again the black bits are an acquired taste and all white can look just as good, but it's your car and as long as you are happy that's what matters

cheers, yes the splitter is an odd one for me lol there is another part to it that goes across the front but it just doesnt sit right so i removed it.

thinking of putting the white fog covers back on,i have a cold air feed pipe that i will be seting up to fit from fog cover and onto the wingbox i have to fit.
but that wont be decided untill i manage to sort out simtek and mafless.

that would be great mate.

i had it fitted but in the middle it took a dip,it was up tight against bumper though.

did you have to trim the height of the small fins to get it nice and straight ?

i have cut the wing out for future

i have something similar to this to fit
http://www.rogerclarkmotorsport.co.u...productID=2053

when its time to fit the Greddy fmic and go mafless then the k+N will be removed and i have a simota CDA and air feed to fit.

item has been painted and just need to decide location of air feed (side or from bottom)

i have ketp the stock white fog covers and bonnet vents aswell as the white grill and crystal clear lights.

so when i get fed up with the carbon fog covers,carbon vents,grill etc i can swap it all over to give a fresh look
