Im saving for a Difillipo system, couple weeks before I can get it. Getting the 3" "big boy" system. Asked some guys who had it from the SA SS owners club what they thought of it and they say its amazing.

Thinking of getting darker tint and maybe tyre lettering.

When I was checking out cars before I bought mine, I drove a Series I with pacemaker headers and 3" Manta exhaust.

Sounded great.

Getting 15% or 20% tint on friday, just on the side windows not front or rear. Yes I know its Illegal.

and just decided to do a tint banner along the top of the windscreen

and the tint guy didn't show up, strange that his business has 5 star ratings.

Car looks really nice, you never know with traveling business, traffic accidents, previous jobs taking longer than expected but some people spend a minute to keep you updated and/ or rearrange the appointment and others you wonder how/ why they're still in business.

Thanks for kind words guys :)

And yes something could have come up but we organised it a few weeks ago. We had 5 cars to be done so was pretty annoying, oh well.

I want to keep the car looking relatively stock with some minor exterior mods but nothing too noticeable

Sharkfin aerial
Brembos on rear
I want HID's but don't think its worth the risk
15-20% tint with a upper windshield banner
Swap out exterior bulbs for LEDs to give a more modern/new look
XX plates
Get all black plastic exterior bits in gloss black
A subtle stripe down the bottom of the doors like on the VF's
Clear bra for the whole car to protect the paint
Flow coat but not sure if it can be done on older paint
Exhaust to be ordered soon
When its payed off and I have the money I'd like to Supercharge it
