Many thanks for looking will update once get some more pictures/ modifications completed. |
How Do you find the exhaust at motorway speeds does It drone inside the car nice looking car by the way
|
It was at first mate but you get used to it after a while. I don't even think its that loud now to be honest.
Cheers for the comment as well its a work in progress still though. |
very nice barring the carbon
|
Which bits mate the console or the doors and mirrors
|
Am not a massive carbon fan like Simon the way the weave doesn't all match on the console trims would do my head in. Would look better standard IMO. But your car mate so enjoy.
|
It's just till get it carbon dipped mate as had to cover it as had to adapt the main part to put the mirror and heated seat switches there as different set up from hawkeye and early blob eyes so that's just a temporary modification at minute.
|
Your tax is out of date. :p
Si, regarding your wheels. Don't do them black, and choose carefully the anthracite. They'll just be lost in the arches if they're too dark mate. |
Ha ha the mirrors pic was taken a while ago .
If did them black was gonna get them same colour as the car with the fleck in them |
Front end has been sold so will be fitting the hawkeye front end over the next weekend or so.
Will post up progress pics of it if anyone wants them |
