Looks bloody clean mate. Really liking it. Maybe look at getting your gearbox built if you're caming it. That way you know it will handle the power you throw at it.

ok so i have had this car for a while now, been almost 8 months. the first mod i had for the car was to paint the calipers because the standard silver just didnt stand out of look any good on the car so off the wheels came and on went the gold because red is over rated .

so i got sick of the heat that the turtle shell would keep under the bonnet so i got me a set of fibreglass ss covers off ebay and had them done in gloss black, would love to have the ss logo on them airbrushed gold but that can wait as it is only a small thing. they say one picture is 1000 words so i am about to give you guys a essay.

out with the old

feels so naked and looks horrid

half way there

i think they look 1000X better than the turtle shell and the engine does't retain so much heat.

as much as i like the standard ss wheels on my car i just want that some more to make my car look that bit more special. i had also wore out the tyres on it too getting use to the power upgrade and having alot of fun with it on our farm loading pad. so while i was hunting around for the wheels that i want i have borrowed my brothers vz ss wheels now they dont look the best but they have new tyres on them so i wont be complaining.

Brothers mags

don't look too bad when they are given a wash

i also got me some king springs ssl and munro gt shocks all round. this is pretty much the perfect hight for me gives it that lower agressive look but still is able to do carparks and speedbumps.
before i lowered it shot

after

full car load when lowered still kinds drivable

also when down to brissy and found the rims i have been chasing vy r8 wheels. tyres are kinda shot but i want to have them sandblasted and powder coated as i am not a fan of the kinda shadow chrome color that they are

also went on a little photo shoot

also had a alpine touch screen headunit fitted as i needed bluetooth and ipod connect again
