Smile How She's Looking So Far!

Hey guys haven't really posted much up on here in the last few months so a quick little update. No major mods just a few subtle ones and i thought i would get the pictures up before my Coilovers come next week.

Here she is the day i had her:-



And this is what she looks like to date:-







Latest mods are things like the Mud Flaps, Tints, Front Splitter and basically cleaning her up. I Shall post up a few pictures next week once I have received and fitted my Coilovers cant wait.

Let us know what you think so far Guys please

Cheers Ryan.

Nice Love the wheels

Would look better if the splitter was colour coded IMO, or if the skirts and rear spats were still black to match.

Yep im with you on that one, missed out on the rear spats from the Bay yesterday by £1 grrr the skirts need to be re-done what ever happens so tempted to try them black first.

Looking good there I like the colour scheme as said I would colour code the front lip and that will bring the level of colour equally around if you see where I'm coming from

Yeah i know exactly where your coming from the side skirts need repainting because who ever did the job originally did a very poor job, so im tempted to try them black first and see what that looks like before i get the lot painted.

Has anyone got they v6 lip smoothed into their original bumper??

When your getting the paintwork done you could always include a few engine bits

I will take that into account definately, at the moment i want to focus on the exterior and getting the car looking right, and sitting on its coilies can't wait now.

Cheers Daz I must say alot of people seem to perv at the wheels, when i originally orded they were supposed to have a polished lip because i couldn't find the all gun metal version. To my surprise when i opened them upon delivery they were all Gunmetal Result i couldn't wait for the rubber to come i had to try them on
