wow one of the best here, nice and simple!

[grantlyy]

how did you change the bulbs in all of your interior lights? did you find a guide somewhere?

In the vy-vz they are smd led's soldered to the dash cluster, you will need someone to desolder and resolder the new led's.

Thanks guys, I also lowered it and have painted the badges black so will update the photos soon

[Drawnnite]

looks absolutely awesome!

so clean and such a good colour scheme.

out of curiosity, did you get the manual put in yourself?
and if you did was it a big job to get it done?

keep up the good work

I did the manual conversion at home with the help of two friends.
it took two days to remove the auto and have everything switched over to the manual.

pretty much just drop out the auto, fit the manual box, rewire a few plugs on the auto loom to suit manual and then fit master, slave cylinder, fit the clutch pedal and then i cut down the auto brake pedal and fitted the alloy pedal cover over it.
The ecu needs to be reflashed to manual also.

Bit of an update.

I have lowered the car now and decided to Plastidip the badges on the car to tie into the black wheels.








Black badges:








Now finally i brought a new boot lid with a Genuine HBD lip that i need to get painted up.

Ill be doing it at home with help from a few friends so should be a good learning experience.
We also converted it to manual at home so shouldnt be too difficult.

[Munz]

are you keeping your rockers at 1.8?

if so you may have a few probs there

[grantlyy]

Nah I sold the rockers and went back to 1.7 ratio
