Ok spent 2 days detailing and spending money.. Brought vy senator wheels fitted them. Painted the brakes anondized blue and black also the wheel arches. New mats amour all vaccume window cleaner etc. Oil change and filter. Painted the tank and straps came out mint. Fitted the pod and intake (dont hate) i know there rice but you should hear it. Me and Dad polished it came out excelent. Degresed the engine and bay came out great and no oil leaks or water leacks :D still have to do the roof tommorow. Painted scraped wire brushed the boot floor and put all mint vs calais boot carpet in. And got the rear window chrome and side and fitted it. Brought new tail light looms.

Put in new plugs and leads. Oil & oil filter. Flushed the radiator and put in coolant. Done one side of the moulds with chrome tape. Took it for its 1st drive and it goes great and sounds sort of like a 8 :D.

Damn that's a transformation!!
I'm liking the new wheels, makes it look so nice.

Only thing that lets it down, is the blue on the brakes... But to each his own.
As for mods...

How about a newer CD player, the old one lets down the interior a little.
LED lights in the foot wells and roof.
Bobtail spoiler.

GO!
